Method:

Mix the marinade ingredients together and marinate the lamb slices in the marinade for at least an hour.

Heat a knob of butter in a pot. Add in the marinated meat slices and cook for an hour and half, topping up with water in between cooking.

Once 3/4 of the way done, transfer to a foiled oven tray.

Decorate with pre-boiled baby potatoes (optional). Dot with butter and bake in the oven on 180°C to roast on the outside for an additional half an hour or until done.

Serve the roast with fresh naan rolls.
