Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve, a measuring jug & a grater

Prep & boil

  • Finely slice the onion. Quarter the tomatoes. Trim and cut the green beans into thirds. Finely chop or grate the ginger and garlic
  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain

Start the keema

  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey, green beans and onion and cook for 5 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Add the tomatoes and Sri Lankan spice and cook for a further 2 mins, then add the ginger, garlic and tomato puree. Cook for 2 mins, then add 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-4 mins, until reduced slightly. Season to taste

Make the coriander yoghurt

  • Finely chop the coriander. Halve the lime
  • Meanwhile, in the small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the juice from half the lime, half the coriander and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to loosen to drizzling consistency

Plate up

  • Stir the remaining coriander through the turkey. Season to taste
  • Share the turkey keema between bowls, with the quinoa alongside. Drizzle with the coriander yoghurt and garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
