Lamb Tandoori is an Indian-inspired dish that is popular all over the world. This recipe features lamb shoulder steaks marinated in a yogurt-spice mixture, which adds a creamy and slightly tangy flavor to the dish. The spices used in the marinade, including coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric, lend an earthy and aromatic flavor to the lamb. The dish is grilled to perfection and served with a pureed cauliflower side dish, which adds a healthy element to this delicious meal.

Instructions

1.In a small skillet over low heat, toast the coriander and cumin seeds for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and grind into a fine powder.
2.In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lime juice and zest, smoked paprika, ground ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Add the ground spices and mix well.
3.Add the lamb shoulder to the marinade and coat well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
4.Preheat your grill to medium-high. Remove the lamb from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the lamb steaks and onion slices until the lamb is caramelized and cooked to the desired doneness. Grill the lime halves until charred.
5.Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender or food processor. Add heavy cream, salt, black pepper, grated nutmeg, and chopped cilantro. Puree until smooth.
6.Serve the grilled lamb and onions with the pureed cauliflower on the side, and garnish with a lime wedge and additional cilantro leaves.
