After this inspired Indian meal, you will sit back and bask in the feeling of complete culinary satisfaction.

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. 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!
