2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 cups water
2 pounds trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

Kosher salt
6 1-by-2-inch strips of lemon peel

In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup of the yogurt with the water. Add the lamb cubes, toss to coat and refrigerate overnight.

Light a grill. Drain the lamb and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 1 cup of yogurt with the chile powder, turmeric, garlic, cayenne and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the lamb, toss to coat and let stand for 10 to 20 minutes.
