1 tspn of mustard seeds
1 tbls of garlic/ginger paste
250 ml of yoghurt
2 tbsp of soft brown sugar
1 tbsp of lemon dressing
2 tbsp of Mix Powder
2 tspn of Chilli Powder
1 tbsp on chopped fresh coriander

Method

Gently fry the cumin and mustard seeds in the oil until popping,
Add garlic/ginger paste and continue frying until very aromatic,
Then add Mix Powder and Chilli Powder and fry out the spices,
Allow to cool.

Add sugar and lemon dressing to the yoghurt and beat until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the chopped coriander.
Then mix in thoroughly the contents of the pan,
Your marinade is ready, cover the meat and leave at least overnight,
Cook in a hot oven till it's done how you like it.

I usually add Amchoor powder, about 1/2 tsp
and 60 ml or either lime or lemon juice
Both tenderise the meat
Also 5 cloves of garlic cut into slivers and stuck in the lamb as well 

thanks for that info issimc mate  ivan
