| 1. Prepare Cucumber Raita: With vegetable peeler, remove several strips of peel from each cucumber. Cut each cucumber lengthwise in half; scoop out seeds. Cut each half lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. In medium bowl, toss cucumbers with 1/4 teaspoon salt; let stand 10 minutes. With hand, press cucumbers to remove as much liquid as possible; drain off liquid. Stir in yogurt, mint, sugar, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve or up to 6 hours. Makes about 4 cups. | 2. Prepare Spiced Lamb: In spice grinder or coffee grinder, blend fennel, mustard, cumin, salt, peppercorns, thyme, and cloves until finely ground. | 3. In small bowl, mix garlic and lemon juice with ground spices until blended. Rub spice mixture over both sides of lamb. | 4. Place lamb on hot grill rack over medium-low heat; cook 25 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness, turning lamb over once. Thickness of butterflied lamb will vary throughout; cut off sections of lamb as they are cooked and place on cutting board. Thinly slice lamb and arrange on platter; garnish with mint sprigs. Serve with Cucumber Raita. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
