Seekh kebabs with herby yogurt dip

Recipe Story
Me and my family have always been ardent fans of kebabs. Since I'm from India, I've tasted quite a few of them. Traditionally these kebabs are made in a tandoor (clay)oven. But, here, with no tandoor at hand, I was a bit apprehensive at first , about making them. But, I did give it a try in the good old oven, and to my utter joy, was not in the least bit disappointed. My first try at the seekh kebab turned out to be quite successful. They had more or less the same taste that I'm used to. These kebabs are usually made with lamb or beef mince and are traditionally served with nan bread. They can also be served either as a starter or as an accompaniment to a main meal with various chutneys. I served it as a starter with a herby yogurt dip and everyone in the family( not to mention me) were really pleased with the outcome.

EasyIngredients
ginger-garlic paste of 3-4 cloves of garlic and 1" piece of ginger.
1 tsp each of turmeric, coriander and cumin powders
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
a bunch of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
2-3 green chillies, chopped
1-2 tblsp lemon juice
2 tblsp of oil

500 gms of minced lamb
10-12 bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 15-20 minutes) or metal ones
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven at 200 deg cel.
2. Add all the ingredients to the lamb mince and mix well.
3. Take handfuls of the mixture and wrap around each skewer in the shape of a sausage.
4. Place them on an oven rack with a tray underneath to collect the drippings.
5. Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven for an hour(approx.) or till nicely browned and cooked through, turning them over at regular intervals so that they are evenly cooked on all sides.
Serve hot.
The dip-
Blend the following ingredients together in a mixer-
3-4 tblsp yogurt
2 green chillies, chopped
1/2 of a green pepper, chopped
small bunch of coriander, chopped
salt to taste.
That's it! The dip is ready!
A fresh salad instead of the dip, also works wonders.
