''Just like Jahas''

5/5 

Can't tell the difference between this and the one from our favourite take-away of years ago.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Line a grill tray with [[silver foil]] and place the lamb strips together with a little of the [[marinade]] on the grill tray (see picture)
| Grill for about 7 minutes
| Turn the slices over and grill for another 7 minutes. Check regularly and test to see if they are done to your liking. Don't be over-worried about the [[marinade]] burning, it gives it great flavour and does not taste the least bit burnt. Do worry about the lamb drying out, see Chef's Notes.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Naan breads|naan breads]], [[Pillau rice|pillau rice]] and a [[Green salad|green salad]].

===Chef's notes===
If you don't have [[Black cumin|black cumin]], just use [[White cumin|white cumin]] instead.

Adjust the [[Chili|chili]] levels to suit your tastes, this can be fairly hot with these quantities, depending upon the types of chili you use.

When I originally made this dish, I had planned to make [[Balti lamb tikka]], but changed my mind half-way through. I would not have sliced the lamb so thinly if I had known I was to grill it. Delicious even so!
