This is based on a recipe by Asma Khan. I made changes to suit what I had in the cupboards/fridge
4 dried chillis (I used chilli flakes)
1 tbspn desiccated coconut
1 tbsp poppy seeds (I used black onion seeds)
Half tspn coriander seeds
1 tspn cummin seeds
(I was slightly more generous with the cumin)
Ghee (I used rapeseed oil)
2 chopped onions
7 oz natural yogurt (I used 0% Greek yogurt)
2 tbspn garlic paste (I used 4 cloves garlic grated)
2 tbspn ginger paste ( I used a nub of fresh ginger, grated)
1 tbspn fennel seeds
1 - 1 1/2 tbsp salt (nope...used a teaspoonful!)
3lb 5oz topside of beef trimmed of all fat. (My beef was only about 1.5 lb)
method
Dry roast the coconut,chilli, poppy, coriander and cumin seeds until they darken and release their aromas...spread on a plate to cool. Then grind into a fine powder.
Add ghee or oil to a frying pan and cook the onions until caramelised. Cool on a plate then whizz in a blender or just mash them.
In a large bowl mix up the yogurt, toasted spice/coconut mixture, mashed onions, garlic and ginger, fennel seeds and salt. Mix until well combined.
Make deep slashes in the beef then work in the marinade covering all the surface of the meat.
Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours in the fridge, take out of the fridge to allow it to come back to room temperature before cooking.
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6
Heat a little gee/oil in the roasting tin before adding the mixture covered meat and popping it in the oven
1 hour for medium rare. Baste during cooking etc...my little joint took less time.
Remove from the oven and cover with foil, leave to stand for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Im sure that you could use your air fryer...
