Best served in pitta bread pocket with a little green salad, onion and mint yoghurt dressing. A perfect party dish or starter. The lamb works really well with the sheek masala (available online from www.curryfusion.net) which is traditionally prepared with fresh Indian herbs and authentic whole ground spices. Alternatively, try the Garam or Gam or Jeera masala. Simply add the masala which has all the spices professionally put together. No need to add anything else.
