– Marinate lamb with chilies, coriander powder, salt, sweet soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oil for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Overnight is best.
– Return the lamb to room temperature prior to cooking. Skewer the meat to bamboo skewers, about 3-4 meat cubes per skewer.

– Arrange cooked satay neatly in a serving plate. Serve immediately with chili sauce and chopped tomatoes.
Notes
(*) Use red cayenne chilies for a milder spiciness level.
