Published May 08, 2018 Updated Sep 30, 2024 Lamb Skewers with Cumin and Chili, they are absolutely amazing and delish. I love spices. I think that’s pretty obvious if you follow my blog. Most of my favorite dishes are made with heavy doses of spices, exotic spices! Growing up in Malaysia, which is a core part of the ancient spice route, I pretty much grew up with spices in my DNA. I can’t live without spices, if I make something plain, there is always a side dish of spice-laden concoction to jazz things up. If you love spices, then it’s very likely that you love cumin. I love cumin, the exotic and distinctive aroma and flavor it lends to the dish is simply beyond words. I grew up eating lots of Nyonya food made by my late grandmother and aunt and many recipes call for the use of cumin. With the earthy note and fragrance it lend to the dishes, it’s no surprise that I love cumin lamb, an iconic dish from Xinjiang, a region in China. I have had many wonderful cumin lamb in China during my past visits, and the most addictive of all is the cumin lamb skewers (called “Yang Rou Chuan” in Chinese), sold by native Xinjiang people in places such as Beijing. I could eat so many skewers of them. Since summer is in full swing, you can make cumin lamb skewers for your summer parties. They are great, absolutely mouthwatering, and best of all, the smell that lingers and set your mouth watering. For your friends and family who don’t eat lamb, you can always make chicken satay. Try them instead of the regular chicken and beef. They will add so much more flavors to your summer!
