While the lamb marinates, make the coconut tzatziki. Open the chilled can of coconut milk and scoop the thick cream from the top into a bowl, leaving the watery liquid behind. Whisk the coconut cream until smooth, then stir in the grated cucumber, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, mint, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
