These cumin and chilli lamb skewers are my go to when I want something impressive but don't have much time. The whole thing comes together in just twenty minutes, which makes it perfect for a weeknight dinner or casual entertaining. I love how the toasted cumin seeds bring this warm, nutty flavour that really complements the tender lamb, while the chilli flakes add a gentle kick without overwhelming your palate. Cumin is brilliant for digestion too, so you're getting something tasty and genuinely good for you. Served with soft flatbreads, it feels like a proper restaurant meal, but honestly it's so simple and budget friendly that you'll find yourself making it again and again.
