Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).

Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over half the North Indian style spice, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. 

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

2

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, remaining North Indian style spice, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the lamb mince. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

Shape into mini sausage shapes, 4 per person. Flatten to make koftas. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

3

Pop the koftas onto a 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.

4

Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

Trim the cucumber, then cut into small 1cm pieces.

Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).

5

In a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, oil and sugar for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the diced tomato and cucumber and half the mint, then set aside for now.

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining mint and yoghurt.

6

When everything's ready, share the koftas between your serving plates. Spoon over the mint yoghurt and drizzle on the tamarind chutney.

Serve the spiced potatoes and cucumber-tomato kachumber alongside.
