Why not try swapping the lamb for free-range minced chicken or turkey instead? Go for 350g mince, but add a medium brown onion instead of a small red one – this will help keep the chicken or turkey moist as it cooks. Fry the patties in a couple of tablespoons of oil and make sure the meat is thoroughly cooked before you serve.
Yes, but not in the same way. Pink peppercorns have a much milder flavour than black peppercorns - they don't even come from the same plant. You'd be better off adding a couple of twists of ground black pepper to your lamb mince and leaving it out of the food processor all together.
Yes, certainly. A food processor is a convenience but not essential. For the starter, you'll need to grate the onion and very finely chop the chilli and mint. The spices can be ground with a pestle and mortar. Have these all ready prepared and close to hand before the start of the show. You can whiz the masala sauce for the main course with your stick blender, and very finely chop the herbs for the dessert.
No, don't worry, simply leave them out, but add an extra ½ tsp of garam masala to your sauce for extra flavour.
It sounds as if you've been over-cooking your rice. Don't worry, Gordon's method is brilliant for making perfectly cooked basmati. He starts off by simmering the rice in lightly spiced water, and then gently steams it off the heat, in a covered saucepan. A quick fluff with a fork and it's ready to serve.
Yes, absolutely. Why not try a delicious fresh pineapple instead? Choose a good ripe one and carefully cut away the prickly skin at the same time as Gordon peels his oranges. Cut the flesh into thin slices and remove the core.
Simply drizzle the yogurt over a little at a time on the end of a fork. If it's a bit thick, simply stir in some milk before you drizzle, and use a flicking motion to create an attractive effect.
