Cucumber raita
This gently spiced raita is a speedy dip that looks fancy. Serve it with warm pittas for a great nibble or ideal starter
Mix the yogurt in a medium bowl with 1 tbsp of lemon juice, the spice blend and a pinch of salt. Add the paneer and gently stir until it is completely coated.
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-12 mins or until barely tender. Drain well. Thread the paneer onto long metal skewers alternating with potatoes, then put them on a baking tray lined with foil. Brush the potatoes with a little oil. Grill the skewers for 10 mins, turning halfway, until the paneer is hot and the potatoes slightly charred.
Meanwhile, mix the carrot with the remaining lemon juice, cumin, chilli, sugar and mint. Serve the kebabs with sliced cucumber and the carrot salad.
