- Put the papaya in a small blender and process until ground to a paste.

- Heat half the oil or ghee in a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat, add the onions and fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain and set aside.
- Put the ground papaya and yoghurt in a large shallow dish, add the lamb and the rest of the ingredients, then season with salt. Mix well, making sure the meat is evenly coated with the mixture. Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven 180’C / 350‘F / Gas Mark 4. Crush most of the fried onions, setting aside a handful for the garnish.
- To make the seasoning, put the crushed onions, ghee, allspice, cream, and roasted gram flour in a bowl and mix together. Add the marinated lamb and mix well.
- Arrange the lamb in a baking dish and spread the seasoning over it, then cover with foil and place in the middle of the oven (not near the source of the heat) and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked and browned on top.
- After 20 minutes of cooking, uncover and turn the meat over in the baking pan. Add the lime juice, then return to the oven and leave uncovered for the remaining cooking time.
- Serve garnished with reserved fried onions, mint sprigs, and lime slices.
