Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender. To cook the lamb, heat a little oil in a hot frypan and brown on all sides. Place in the oven and cook for a further 14 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with tinfoil and a tea towel and rest for 5 minutes. Combine the remaining ingredients to lentils and toss together. Lightly season. Combine the minted yoghurt ingredients.
