🥗Healthier: homemade spice mix

💰Cheaper: curry powder

Homemade mix can be tailored to taste and is often cheaper.

Combine yogurt, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and salt in a bowl to create a marinade.

Add lamb pieces to the marinade and coat thoroughly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Remove lamb from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Place lamb on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro, onion, and tomato before serving.
