In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, 1/2 cup yogurt, 4 minced garlic cloves, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat, about 1–2 minutes — do not overwork.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.
