I had a craving for lamb cutlets so I made a healthier version, instead of breadcrumbs I used almond meal and it was tasty. The lamb cutlets goes well with spicy potatoes which are coated in coriander, cumin, paprika, curry powder and mustard seeds. Serve this delicious dish with green leafy salad.

¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp coriander
