INGREDIENTS:

• 4 Coles Lamb Cutlets
• 1 cup Greek Yoghurt
• 1 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• Pinch of nutmeg powder
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp dried and roasted fenugreek leaves
• 3 tbsp ghee

MINT SAUCE:

• ½ cup mint leaves
• ½ cup coriander leaves
• 1 shallot diced
• 3-4 tbs Greek yoghurt
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• Salt and pepper

METHOD:

• *For best results, allow cutlets to marinade in the fridge overnight.
• To marinate the lamb cutlets, mix yoghurt, garlic, ginger and spices together in a bowl. Coat the lamb cutlets in the marinade.
• Preheat oven to 180C. Place marinated cutlets onto an oven tray and cook for 10-12 minutes, turn and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes.
• Homemade ‘tandoori oven’ – place cake rack over a high heat on the stove and place coal onto the wrack When coal is hot, place them into a small stainless steel ramekin in the centre of a medium-sized bowl  and carefully place the cutlets around it.  Pour some ghee over the coal to bring out the smoke and cover bowl with foil.  Allow cutlets to take in the smoky flavour for 3-5 minutes, until it stops smoking. *Please be careful if trying this at home – do not touch hot coal or steel bowl with hands*
• Mint sauce: blend the mint leaves, coriander leaves and shallot into a paste and then add Greek yoghurt, salt and pepper and fresh ginger – mix well.
• Serve cutlets with a salad, fresh coriander and mint sauce.
