    Method

    1. Mix the ground spices with the yogurt and a squeeze of lemon and coat the lamb all over. Leave to marinate while you prepare the potatoes.
    2. Toss the potatoes with the oil, mustard seeds, a little salt and lots of black pepper. Tip into a shallow roasting tin and cook for 25 minutes.
    3. While the potatoes are cooking, remove the lamb from the marinade and put it on a nonstick baking sheet, squeeze over half of the lemon and grill under a very hot grill for 5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Once the potatoes are cooked squeeze over the other half of the lemon.
    4. Serve with greens or salad.
