Steps

  • Brown the lamb shoulder and cumin seeds in half the oil using a large pan.
  • Fry onions, ginger, garlic, chilli, and spices in two tablespoons of oil.
  • Add lamb and stock to the pan, cover, and simmer for 150 minutes until tender.
  • Blend ginger and garlic, then mix with oil, yoghurt, lime juice, and zest.
  • Coat lamb racks in the paste and marinate for at least 60 minutes.
  • Skewer and roast lamb racks in a tandoor oven for 15 minutes, then rest.
  • Steam potatoes for 25 minutes, then combine half-grated and half-crushed textures.
  • Mix cumin, chilli, garlic, and coriander into potatoes and shape into four cakes.
  • Fry the potato cakes in butter and oil until lightly browned.
  • Roast cumin, garlic, ginger, chilli, and onion in oil for several minutes.
  • Add turmeric, aubergine, and lemon, then cook slowly for 20 minutes before adding coriander.
  • Strain and blend the lamb shoulder sauce, then re-warm the meat in it.
  • Blend mint, coriander, chilli, garlic, lime, and sugar with oil into a smooth chutney.
  • Plate the aubergine, potato cakes, chutney, roasted rack joints, and braised shoulder.
