Method

step 1

Make the tamarind sauce by combining all the ingredients in a pan with 150ml water. Simmer, stirring regularly, until it’s thickened to a ketchup-like consistency. Leave to cool in a serving bowl, but combine 1 tbsp with the cumin seeds and garlic and brush all over the sirloin steak. Leave the steak to marinate for 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you have time.
step 2

To serve, heat a griddle pan. Brush the steak with 2 tsp oil, then griddle for 2 minutes on each side for medium. Lift the steak onto a plate to rest, while you wipe down the griddle pan and then cook the cucumber batons, in batches, for 30 seconds or so on each side.
step 3

Warm the rotis. Slice the rested steak into strips, stuff into the rotis with tamarind sauce, griddled cucumber and coriander leaves.
