Lamb kebabs are a traditional Turkish dish that is usually cooked on a skewer. The meat is marinated in spices and then grilled and served in pita bread with yogurt sauce.

The first time people started making these kebabs was around 2000 years ago when they were recorded by the Romans. The Romans made them with figs, wine, honey, and other spices and they would throw them into the embers. Nowadays people make lamb kebabs quite differently, but the idea of throwing them onto a grill never leaves the recipe.

Kebabs have become more popular in recent years because of their versatility. You can put whatever you want on top of it to give it an extra kick or flavor – like tzatziki sauce or naan. You can use this recipe to make lamb vindaloo

Instead of an oven, you can also grill them on an outdoor grill.
