600g lean Quality Mark beef mince (or use lamb)
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
3 tablespoons tandoori paste

3 tablespoons natural unsweetened yoghurt
2 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander

Chilli Salsa

Method

Pan-fry the onion in a dash of oil until tender. Add the tandoori paste and cook stirring for 1-2 minutes. Cool.
