Method
Combine the yogurt, the spices, lemon zest and juice, garlic, ginger and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Rub the marinade over the lamb shoulder and leave to marinate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 160oC/gas mark 3.
Wipe the marinade off the lamb and place the lamb on a roasting tray. Roast the lamb for 4 hours for a 2kg shoulder (or 30 minutes per pound).
Meanwhile, to make the tzatziki, combine the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, grated cucumber, garlic, dill and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Set aside until needed.
When you're ready to serve, warm some flatbreads in the oven for 5 minutes or as per the packet instructions. Carve the lamb into thin slices and add to the flatbreads with a dollop of tzatziki.
