Instructions
- Put the lamb into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, zest and juice of the lemon, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.

- Meanwhile you can prepare the flatbreads and the salad.
- In a mixing bowl, add the self raising flour, baking powder, garlic granules, ginger, ground cumin and cumin seeds. Mix well.
- Add the greek yoghurt then use a spoon to mix well.
- Get stuck in with clean hands to press the mixture together.
- Tip it out onto a clean surface and knead to bring it together.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal sized portions and roll into a ball.
- Use a floured surface to roll the dough out to about 2mm thick.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan, cook the flatbreads over a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set them aside.
- For the slaw, add all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, mix well.
- Thread the chunks of lamb onto skewers. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water first to prevent them from burning)
- Heat some oil in a griddle pan. Cook the souvlaki over a medium to high heat on all sides until you have a nice golden colour all over.
- Serve the lamb souvlaki with the flatbreads, crunchy slaw and tzatziki.
