Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Cook rice Add 2¼ cups boiling water and a pinch of salt to a pot, cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring back up to the boil.

Fluff up rice with a fork.

  3. Cook lamb Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook courgette and carrot for about 2 minutes, until softened. Add onion, garlic and ginger paste, lamb mince, Indian spice mix and ½ tsp salt to pan. Cook, stirring, until browned, about 6–7 minutes. Season to taste.
  4. Serve rice and lamb with a dollop of minted yoghurt and salsa.
