2.Par-cook the potatoes until just tender, then when cool, cut into quarters.

3.Arrange the marinated meat, potatoes, red onion, capsicum and mushroom, alternating onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers.

4.Brush with oil, then grill or bake the skewers for 4-5 minutes each side until the meat is cooked to your liking and the vegetables are tender and coloured.

This is a great way to enjoy the flavours of a traditional curry in a new way. You can add extra vegetables such as courgette and cherry tomatoes. Try to use a tender beef cut such as fillet, sirloin or scotch so it’s quick to cook and tender.
