- Put the garlic, ginger, papaya in a large shallow bowl, add yoghurt and salt to taste, mix well, then add the spice mix.
- Make incisions all over the lamb.
- Place in a bowl and rub the marinade into the meat, making sure it penetrates the gashes, then marinate for 2 -4 hrs in the fridgfe or overnight.
- The longer the meat marinades, the better the flavour.

- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions until golden brown.
- Pour oil and onions over the lamb, reserving some for garnishing.
- Pour 2 cups of water into the roasting tin, cover with foil and put into the oven.
