Cut lamb into approximately 1/2-inch cubes and toss to coat with tandoori spice.
Peel onions and cut into wedges. Rinse bell pepper, wipe dry, quarter and remove seeds. Cut pepper into approximately 1/4-inch cubes. Peel the pineapple and cut into approximately 1/4-inch cubes.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Add lamb and cook until beginning to brown, about 1 minute.

Healthy, because
The lamb in this dish provides high-quality protein, which is needed for the building and regeneration of body cells and the formation of hormones and enzymes. In addition, one portion of the lamb in this dish covers your daily requirement of vitamin B12, which helps with blood formation, and the trace element zinc, which strengthens the immune system.
Even smarter
If you replace half of the coconut milk with soy creamer in this dish, you'll reduce the amount of saturated fat in favor of healthier unsaturated fatty acids.
