Cooking Steps

Get Started
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Soak your skewers in cold water (this will prevent them from burning).

Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel) then pop them onto a large baking tray.

Drizzle with oil and sprinkle over the cumin seeds. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Cook the Potatoes
2

When the oven is hot, roast the potatoes on the middle shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Shape the Koftas
3

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, curry powder mix, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince.

Season with pepper and mix together with your hands. Shape into sausage shapes, 2 per person.

Flatten to make koftas and thread a skewer through each one. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Time to Bake
4

Pop the koftas onto another large baking tray.

Bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The koftas are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Dressing
5

Meanwhile, in another large bowl, combine the cider vinegar with a drizzle of oil and pinch of sugar. Season with salt and pepper.

Halve the baby plum tomatoes, then mix them into the dressing and set aside. 

Serve
6

When everything's ready, toss the baby leaves into the dressed tomatoes. TIP: Don't do this too early or the leaves will go soggy. 

Transfer the beef koftas to your plates and drizzle over the mango chutney. 

Serve the cumin potatoes and salad alongside. 

Enjoy!
