Trim the lamb of excess fat and cut into approximately 3/4-inch cubes. set aside in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, coriander, oil, 1 tsp of the salt, the cayenne, and black pepper. Pour over the lamb, then stir with a spoon or with your hands to get all the meat surfaces coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or for as long as 12 hours.
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill.
Slide the lamb cubes onto 6 to 8 flat metal skewers, without pressing them tightly together. Grill over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and succulent pale pink in the ceter (or cook right through, if you prefer).
Just before serving, sprinikle about 1 teaspon salt over the lamb. Slide the meat off the skewers, or serve on the skewers and allow guests to slide the meat off. Put out lime or lemon wedges so guests can squeeze on the fresh juice.
Serve with flatbreads or rice, or both. Put out a simple chopped salad, and a fresh herb chutney.
