Step 1 For the tahini sauce, combine the yoghurt, tahini, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl. Gradually add the water to loosen the mixture. Season. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until required.

Step 2 Combine the lamb, onion, garlic, cinnamon and allspice in a bowl. Season.

Step 3 Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Fry bread, turning, in 2 batches, for 1-2 minutes or until crisp. Use tongs to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
