GET THE DOUGH DONE
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Set aside 1 tsp of flour. Place the remaining flour in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Mix in the yoghurt and combine into a sticky ball. Gradually mix in water in 5ml increments until just combined. Use ½ the reserved flour to dust a flat surface. Place the dough on top and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, cover with cling wrap, and set aside.
TANDOORI LAMB
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 3-5 minutes (shifting as it colours). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the tandoori spice mix. Remove from the pan with all the pan juices and place on a roasting tray to finish cooking in the oven, 5-8 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
HONEYED APRICOTS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and 20g of butter. When hot, add the chopped apricots and fry until caramelised, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat, mix in the honey, and season.
FORM THE FLATBREAD
Spread the remaining reserved flour across a flat surface. Place the dough balls on top and use a rolling pin or bottle to shape into rough circles, 12-15cm wide.
COOK UNTIL CRISPY
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the flatbreads one at a time until cooked through and lightly crisped, 2 minutes per side.
LIPSMACKING LAMB
Smear the flatbreads with the labneh. Top with the rinsed green leaves, the cucumber rounds, and the sliced lamb. Spoon over the caramelised apricots and all the sauce. Garnish with the sliced mint.
