Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the grill (broiler) to high and the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Put the dried Kashmiri chillies, cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon stick, sea salt, and sugar in a spice grinder and grind to a powder. Add the peeled ginger and garlic cloves with the white wine vinegar and olive oil, then blend into a smooth paste.
-
Step 2.
Put the lamb cutlets in a mixing bowl and tip in the spice paste. Mix everything together really well so that all the lamb is completely coated. Place the lamb on a grill rack and grill (broil) for 6–8 minutes on each side until golden on the outside and pink and juicy in the centre.
-
Step 3.
While the lamb cooks, pop the flatbreads into the hot oven and turn it off, so that they warm through and don’t burn. Next, make the salad: put the deseeded and finely chopped red chilli in a large mixing bowl. Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, then stand it upright on your chopping board. Slice off the skin, cutting downwards from top to bottom. Cut out any remaining pieces of skin. Cut the pineapple half in half lengthways, then slice off the woody core so that you are left with the soft flesh.

Step 4.
Chop the pineapple flesh into small chunks and add them to the bowl with the halved cherry tomatoes, grated carrot, bean sprouts, and pitted black olives. Add the mint leaves, then pour over the lime juice and olive oil, and season with sea salt. Mix everything together really well.

Step 5.
To make the raita, tip the yogurt into a serving bowl, squeeze in the juice from the lime, and season with a pinch of salt. Finely chop the mint and add it to the bowl. Mix well, drizzle with the olive oil, and top with a pinch of chilli powder. Serve the cooked lamb with the creamed coconut grated over the top and the vibrant salad, raita, and warm flatbreads at the table.
