800g sirloin beef steak, cut into 3cm pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons tandoori paste
2 tablespoons thick Greek-style yoghurt
Sunflower oil, to brush
1 1/2 cups basmati rice, cooked to packet instructions
1/3 cup (30g) desiccated coconut

Raita

2 tablespoons curry leaves, or mint, finely chopped
1 Lebanese cucumber, seeds removed, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
Juice of 1/2 lime
Lime wedges, to serve
3/4 cup (210g) thick Greek-style yoghurt

Method

1.

If using wooden skewers, soak in warm water for 15 minutes.
2.

Thread the beef onto the skewers. Combine the tandoori paste with 2 tbs yoghurt and season. Rub over the meat and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
3.

Meanwhile, for the raita, combine all the ingredients and set aside.

Preheat a chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with oil and cook skewers, in batches, turning, for 5-6 minutes until slightly charred. Set aside to rest, covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
5.

Combine cooked rice with coconut and serve with skewers, raita and lime wedges.
