For the Lamb Seekh Kebabs
1

Place the lamb mince in a mixing bowl.

2

Add the red onion, green chilli, and fresh coriander to a food processor and pulse till it forms a paste.

3

Add this to the mince along with the rest of the spices and mix till combined.

4

When all the ingredients are nicely mixed in, begin pressing down on the meat as you knead it.

5

A quick tip to ensure your kebabs are well seasoned is to fry a teaspoon of the kebab mixture, once cooked taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

6

Once it is all ready, form the meat into kebab shapes. Squeeze the meat onto the skewers (preferable large skewers).

7

Place the seekh kebabs over hot coals and grill, turning regularly until the meat is cooked through – 5 minutes on each side.

8

Alternatively, melt the First Choice Butter in a grill pan and grill on medium-high heat till cooked through.

For the mint and coriander raita:
9

Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth. Serve chilled.

For the naan breads:
10

Combine the self-raising flour and the First Choice Yoghurt in a bowl.

11

Mix the 2 ingredients until the dough starts to form. If the dough is dry, add 1 tablespoon of yoghurt.

12

Continue to knead and bring the dough together.

13

Knead the dough on a large, lightly floured surface. Work the dough out into a large disc.

14

Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece out until it is about 1 cm in thickness and has a 15 cm diameter.

15

Place a griddle pan on high heat and let it get very hot. Cook the naan on each side for 2 minutes.

16

If desired, brush each side with the melted butter and minced garlic and a small pinch of sea salt.
