Method

Liven up your lamb chops with this fragrant, flavoursome Indian-inspired dish, which is easy to make, too. Cooking the new potatoes with mustard seeds adds an aromatic hit. Serve with steamed greens or a salad.

  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.
