Kabab Masala/Ground Lamb Kebabs

This is adapted from Cooking the Indian Way, page 25.

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb or beef
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 Tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
1 Tbsp plain yogurt
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt

Combine all ingredients. Let stand at least 30 minutes. Form into small patties and cook on the grill (or fry or broil).The original recipe suggested greasing skewers with melted butter, forming kebabs with wet hands, and broiling the meat.
