Step 1
Grate the 1 medium onion and squeeze out excess liquid. Mince the 2 garlic cloves and 1 inch ginger. In a bowl, mix the ground lamb, grated onion, garlic, ginger, 1 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp salt until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each around a skewer into a 6-inch log, pressing firmly. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until browned on all sides and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 4
While kebabs cook, slice the remaining onion into rings and cut the lime into wedges. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
Step 5
Serve the hot kebabs with the onion rings, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Squeeze lime over the top before eating.
