Didn't make the sauce, but the marinade was good--even having to use garlic powder since I didn't have any garlic. Broiled the skewers and kept them pretty big--not 2 x 2 inches as recommended...still came out a little dry. But the onions and peppers were absolutely delicious! I would make again. Served it with chutney and israeli couscous.
Isn't cilantro the leaves of the plant and coriander the seeds of the same plant?
The marinade for the lamb was pretty good, but the sauce was just terrible. Not sure why - perhaps because I used fat-free greek yoghurt? - but it added nothing to the dish, even after we added some olive oil (which helped some).
