Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken, beef, or lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Instructions

- Add the cubed meat to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

- Grill the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
