"A yummy way to mix up your summer BBQ menu - lamb roast, with Indian tikka spicing. From something I found on www.hgontario.ca (HomeGrown Ontario). They suggest serving with fresh Naan bread and a crisp salad garnished with Feta and pomegranate seeds. Note: the prep time does not include the marination (4 hours or overnight)."
