This is one not to miss! These tandoori spiced lamb cutlets are bursting with flavour and with an accompanying fresh and vibrant chopped kachumber salad, you’ll have a quick and easy midweek meal. If you’re fed up with the same old dinners this is the perfect dish to spice things up.
Cooking Method
- Combine the garlic and ginger pastes, yogurt, spices, and lemon juice with a bit of seasoning in a bowl until thoroughly mixed.
- Add the lamb cutlets and mix really well again, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- Take the lamb out of the fridge 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook them.
- Mix all the ingredients for the kachumber salad together with some seasoning.
- Heat a barbecue or griddle pan to hot. Scrape off the marinade from the lamb and season.
- Grill the cutlets for 1-2 minutes on each side until suitably charred. Leave to rest on a plate for 5 minutes then serve with lemon wedges for squeezing, the kachumber, roti or naan, and a bit of seasoned yogurt.
