After this inspired Indian meal, you will sit back and bask in the feeling of complete culinary satisfaction. Oven-roasted beets share a plate with aromatic Tandoori lamb, expertly spiced to bring out the best in the meat while complementing the rest of the flavours: coriander-infused yoghurt, a chilli-cucumber salsa, and crispy poppadoms.

Hands on Time: 25 - 45 minutes
Overall Time: 40 - 55 minutes
Ingredients:
- Beetroot
- Cucumber
- Free-range Lamb Leg Chops
- Fresh Chilli
- Fresh Chillies
- Fresh Coriander
- Low Fat Plain Yoghurt

From your kitchen:
- Oil (cooking, olive or coconut)
- Seasoning (salt & pepper)
- Water
- Paper Towel
- Butter
BEGIN THE BEET
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
SPICY CUCUMBER & COOLING YOGHURT
In a bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning together. Add the diced cucumber, the chopped chilli (to taste), ½ the chopped coriander, and toss to combine. Set aside in the fridge. In a separate bowl, combine the yoghurt with the remaining coriander, seasoning and set aside.
TANDOORI LAMB
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the tandoori mix. Remove from the pan, season, and rest for 5 minutes.
PUFFY POPPADOMS
Heat the poppadoms in the microwave until crispy, 20-30 seconds. (Alternatively: Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over. Keep flipping until golden and puffed up).
DINNER = DONE
Plate up the roasted beets and side with the tandoori lamb. Dollop over the herby yoghurt, side with the salsa, and the crispy poppadoms. Well done, Chef!
