Steps:
- Take your chops and simply remove the meat from the bone and cut into small chunks. Don't trim any of the fat from the lamb. This is what's going to give you the flavor you're looking for. Put the lamb in a mixing bowl.
- In a mortar and pestle (or spice grinder), add the cumin, cumin seeds, chili flakes, and salt. Pound it all together, cracking the chili flakes and cumin seeds into smaller pieces (you want it to be coarse, not a fine powder). Add about half of the spices (the other half will be used for sprinkling after the lamb finishes cooking) to the lamb along with the oil and mix everything together.
- Put the lamb onto the skewers. Heat your grill until searing hot. Grill the skewers until they get a nice char on the outside. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle on the extra spices. Serve!

YANG ROU CHUAN (SPICY LAMB KEBABS)
Chuan or Chuanr, depending on the translation, are bite-sized bits of lamb skewered on a stick and offered as street food and at speciality restaurants throughout China. Originally from Xinjiang Province and the people who live there, the Uighurs, this tasty snack is offered mostly by China's Muslims across the country. Lamb is traditional but chicken, pork, and beef are also available.

Steps:
- Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for one hour. This will make the meat slide onto the skewers better and they won't burn as easily on the grill.
- Cut the lamb into pieces the size of almonds. Thread them onto the bamboo skewers.
- Light a charcoal grill and wait for the coals to turn gray or set a gas grill to medium-high.
- Mix the cumin and chile powders, the pepper and salt, the peppercorns and the garlic together in a bowl.
- Pour the oil onto a plate. On 1 other plates, put the cumin and peppercorn mixture. Roll the skewers in the oil, then in the cumin and peppercorn mixture.
- Set the skewers on the grill rack, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Turn, cover, and cook 3 minutes more or until the meat is cooked through but still juicy. Serve immediately.
