Here is a wonderful lamb cutlet dish to make for your next dinner party. The fresh coconut and melon chutney add great flavour to the lamb. If you’re feeling extra adventurous try using fresh coconut! We’ve outlined directions below about how to grate coconut for you!

Serves- 4

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (75g) tandoori paste
• 1/4 cup (70g) yoghurt
• 12 french-trimmed lamb cutlets (600g)

FOR THE CHUTNEY

• 1 cup (115g) shaved fresh coconut
• 1/2 large honeydew melon (850g), shaved
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

FOR THE FRESH COCONUT

• Pierce one of the eyes to open, roast the coconut briefly in a very hot oven only until cracks appear in the shell. Cool and then break the coconut apart and grate or flake the firm white flesh. However, if coconut is too hard to find, you can use 1 cup finely shredded dried coconut.

Method

1. Combine paste, yoghurt and cutlets in bowl and season.
2. Cook cutlets on BBQ or grill pan until brown on both sides and cooked to your liking.
3. For the chutney, combine the fresh coconut and melon to serve with the lamb.
