1/3 cup lime juice +extra wedges, to serve

Heat a large, lightly oiled char-grill or non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook lamb, in batches, if necessary, for 2-3 minutes per side, until slightly charred and cooked to your liking.

Place lamb on plate, covered with foil, to rest for five minutes. 

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber and salad leaves. Drizzle with remaining lime juice and olive oil. Season and toss to coat.

Serve with salad, extra yoghurt, lime wedges and naan bread.

Sprinkle lamb with remaining coriander, almonds and chilli. Serve with salad, extra yoghurt, lime wedges and naan bread.

You can use lamb fillet, backstrap or rump instead of lamb leg steaks.

Tandoori, rogan josh or korma paste would also work well in this recipe.
