Prepare the ingredients for the kebabs, including lamb mince, spices, garlic, green chilies, ginger, bell pepper, onions, fresh coriander, and fresh mint.

Measure out 4 teaspoons of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of ground coriander, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, and 3 teaspoons of salt.

Place the garlic, green chilies, ginger, bell pepper, and onions into a blender and blend until smooth.

Add the lamb mince to a large bowl along with the blended vegetable mixture, spices, and chopped coriander and mint leaves.

Mix the ingredients together using your hands until well combined. If the mixture is watery, add a little corn flour to absorb excess moisture.

Form the meat mixture into kebabs on metal skewers, ensuring they are tightly packed.

Preheat the oven to the maximum temperature.

Place the skewers on a wire rack and put them in the top part of the oven to cook.

Cook the kebabs for about 12 to 15 minutes, checking to ensure they are cooked through and not burnt.

While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by mixing 150 g of natural yogurt, a squeeze of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of castor sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of garam masala, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of jarred mint sauce in a bowl.

Taste the mint yogurt sauce and adjust the lime juice as needed before serving with the kebabs.
