Step 1
Mix ground lamb with cumin, coriander, sumac, 0.5 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper until evenly combined.
Step 2
Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty, ~2 inches thick.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Sear kababs 3 minutes per side without moving — edges should char and crisp.
Step 5
Push kababs to the side and sear green chilies until charred, ~2 minutes total.
Step 6
Stir yogurt with 0.25 tsp salt and juice from half the lemon. Serve kababs with yogurt, raw red onions, charred chilies, and lemon wedges.
