1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.

2

Pat the lamb dry with kitchen paper towels, then rub all over with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting tray fitted with a rack.

3

In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste, the juice of the oranges, honey, coriander, cinnamon and chilli. Grate in the garlic and ginger.

4

Brush the lamb generously with half the glaze. Cover loosely with foil and roast for 1 hour. Remove the foil, brush with more glaze and baste with the pan juices. Roast uncovered for a further 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes, until the lamb is caramelised and a meat thermometer reads 60–65°C for medium. In the last 20 minutes, add the carrots to the roasting tray.

5

Transfer the lamb to a board, loosely tent with foil and rest for 15–20 minutes.

6

Arrange the roasted carrots around a serving plate, place the lamb in the middle and decorate with the pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately.
