Ingredients

500 g free-range lamb steaks
Woolworths double-thick yoghurt, for serving
For the yoghurt marinade, mix:
1 T olive oil
1 x 70 g punnet Woolworths crushed garlic, ginger, chilli and turmeric
2 t cumin seeds, lightly toasted and crushed
2 t coriander seeds, lightly toasted and crushed
4 sprigs curry leaves,
1 cup Woolworths double-thick yoghurt
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the mint pesto:
30 g mint
30 g coriander
1⁄2 green chilli
2 T lemon juice
1 t brown sugar
50 g cashew nuts, lightly toasted
3 T olive oil

Cooking Instructions

Marinate the lamb for 4 hours.

To make the mint pesto, blend all the ingredients to form a thick paste. Add a little water if necessary. Season with salt.

Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking. Sear the lamb steaks (reserve the marinade) until charred. Finish off in an oven preheated to 180°C, or until cooked through.

Pour the marinade into a saucepan and heat through. Pour over the lamb steaks and serve with the mint pesto and yoghurt.

Cook's note: Chef Gaggan Anand – whose restaurant Gaggan in Bangkok has been crowned best in Asia for three years since 2015 – calls yoghurt the Indian mother sauce.
