Put all the ingredients, except the meat and butter, in a blender or food processor and make a smooth puree.

Remove the grid from the grill pan and line it with a piece of foil then brush with a little oil. Preheat the grill to high.

Lightly brush 6 skewers with oil and thread the marinated lamb cubes onto them leaving a slight gap between each piece of meat. Place the skewered meat on the prepared grill pan and cook approximately 10cm away from the element for 5 minutes. Carefully turn the skewers over and grill for a further 5 minutes. Brush generously with the melted ghee or butter and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn them over again and brush with the remaining butter.

Cook for a further 2-3 minutes and remove from the heat.

Serve as a started with a chutney and naan cut into small pieces. Excellent served with drinks.
