Season the lamb on both sides with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.Place the lamb in a vacuum marinator and add the tandoori paste.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
Place the lamb on the grill and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135ºF for medium, 10 to 12 minutes per side, or until done to your liking.
Transfer the lamb to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the meat into thin slices, arrange on a warmed platter and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve with naan and raita potato salad. Serves 8 to 10.
