Ingredients

Turmeric Wedges

  • 600g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1.5cm-thick wedges *
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Indian Lamb Patties

  • 450g lamb mince
  • 1 tablespoon Indian spice mix
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup GF panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 carrot, grated

Raita

  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 150g natural yoghurt
  • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped mint leaves
  • ½ teaspoon runny honey

To Serve

  • ½ iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
  • ½ punnet cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced (optional, adults)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium (if using). Toss potatoes on first prepared tray with oil, turmeric seasoning, garlic and ginger. Season with salt and pepper and bake for about 25 minutes, until tender and golden. Turn once during cooking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all Indian lamb patty ingredients, season with pepper and mix well using clean hands. Use a half cup measure to shape into patties, about 10cm in diameter and 1.5cm thick.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook patties for about 3 minutes each side, until browned. Transfer to second prepared tray and finish cooking in oven for about 3 minutes, until just cooked through.
  4. While patties cook, dice cucumber 0.5cm and place in a medium bowl with all remaining raita ingredients. Mix until combined and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. In a medium bowl, toss lettuce, tomato and red onion (if using) with a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. To serve, divide Indian lamb patties and salad between plates and top with a dollop of raita. Serve turmeric wedges on the side.
