  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to high (if using). Prepare ingredients.

Using clean hands, roll tablespoons of mixture into golf ball-sized balls and set aside.

  3. Place naan breads on prepared tray, drizzle or brush over butter/oil and sprinkle over garlic. Season and set aside.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook meatballs for 6-8 minutes, turning often, until golden and cooked through. Set aside, covered, to rest for 2-3 minutes.
  5. When meatballs have 4 minutes cook time remaining, cook naan bread in oven for 3-4 minutes, until a little crispy and fragrant. Remove from oven and cut into wedges. Add lemon zest and juice, and a drizzle of oil to bowl with vegetables. Season and toss well.
  6. To serve, spoon turmeric yoghurt onto plates and spread out. Top with korma chicken and salad. Sprinkle over cashew nuts, mint and chilli flakes (if using), and serve garlic naan wedges on the side.
