Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground lamb
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tbsp. coriander seeds, crushed
• 2 tbsp. plain yogurt
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Thai chiles, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 5 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
• 3 bell peppers, seeded and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

1. Set oven rack about 6 inches from heat source. Preheat broiler to high. Coat broiler pan with cooking spray. (Or preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat, 375-450).

2. Using your hands, mix together lamb, onion, coriander seeds, 2 tbsp. yogurt, the lemon juice, garlic, chiles, salt and turmeric in a bowl until well combined. Roll mixture into 15 meatballs. Thread 3 meatballs onto each skewer, separating each with a piece of bell pepper. Arrange on prepared broiling pan.

3. Broil 5 minutes, then turn and continue broiling until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more. (Or put on the rack of the preheated grill over direct heat. Grill, covered and turning halfway through, until no longer pink, grill 10 minutes.)

4. Stir together 1/2 cup yogurt and green onions; drizzle over kebabs.
