Refrigerate for 10 minutes.  Heat an oven-proof frying pan over high heat. Sear lamb on all sides then put pan in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest meat for at least 5-10 minutes, loosely covered with tin foil.
 
Curry Paste:
Blitz all ingredients together to a paste.

Raita:
Mix all ingredients together in a small serving bowl.

Yoghurt Flatbreads:
Mix first 3 ingredients together in a large bowl and divide dough evenly into 12 balls, cover and set aside.Turn grill onto medium heat and place a large baking tray underneath to heat up.
Flatten dough balls and using a rolling pin roll into large teardrop shapes, use some extra flour to stop mixture from sticking. Carefully place flatbreads on hot baking tray and grill for 2-3 minutes until golden. Once you remove the flatbreads brush with butter and sprinkle over a little salt.

Slice lamb and serve with flatbreads with raita. Garnish with fresh coriander and mint.
