Kebab Massalam

1 pound ground lamb

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 green Thai chili peppers, finely chopped

1 onion, chopped

2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed

2 tablespoons plain yogurt

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

5 (6 inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes

2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces

Preheat the oven s broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly grease a broiling pan.

Mix together the lamb, garlic, chili peppers, onion, coriander, yogurt, turmeric, lemon juice, and salt with your hands until well mixed. Roll the mixture into 15 meatballs. Thread 3 meatballs onto each skewer, separating with chunks of red bell pepper. Place onto the prepared broiling pan.

Broil for 5 minutes, then turn the skewers over, and continue broiling until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more.
