Ingredients[]
Ingredients
Just get the following stuf together:
- 2 packets (say 800 grams of lean minced Lamb)
- 4 medium potatoes - chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 2 medium onions chopped finely
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- Half a bowl of frozen Peas
- The usual chunks ginger, chillie, garlic from your freezer (thawed of course)
- 2 (heaped) teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3(heaped) teaspoons garam masala
- 1 and a half teaspoon of haldi (turmeric)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
Directions[]
So: get a largish pot - and heat up a couple of tablespoons of your usual vegetable oil in it - we use cholesterol-free sunflower oil. Get the chopped Onion frying until they are golden brown. Then add the pulped garlic, ginger and chillie to the pot and continue frying on medium heat.
After a few minutes of frying - add the minced Lamb - and fry it until browned.
Then add all the dry spices - and stir-fry it all - until the browned meat is all coated well. Then add the tin of chopped tomatoes and stir it all about.
After a few mins - add the chopped potatoes - and also pour in a glass of water. Stir it all - and bring to a fierce boil so that the potatoes will cook. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for around half hour.
After about half hour of simmering - add the frozen Peas.
