Method
For the Lamb Pops:
In a bowl mix the ground lamb with the garlic, mint jelly, mint, salt and pepper. Form into 12 ‘lollipops’ by attaching to small skewers or sticks. Roll the pops in the chopped almonds, then transfer to a baking tray and roast until they’re lightly browned and delicious, about 15 minutes.
For the curry raita:
Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Present with the lollipops. Serve and share!
