Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp garlic, finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp ginger, finely chopped
- 4 tomatoes vine tomatoes, not salad tomatoes
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 500 grams lamb mince chicken mince or mutton mince will also work in this recipe
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp ground coriander powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 medium potatoes (or 1 large potato) cut into chunks
- 3/4 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
Instructions
- Next, heat 4 tablespoons in olive oil in a saucepan. Add the chopped onions and cook until golden brown.
- Add the garlic and ginger and stir through. Next add the finely chopped tomatoes and green chillies stir for a further 3-4 minutes. The tomatoes will soften in this time.
- Add the salt, turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin and paprika, stir through.
- Next add the mince meat, stir fry the meat for 10 minutes, on medium heat, until it is browned. Make sure you break up any lumps in the mince, specifically with the back of your spoon as you cook. This step will need quite a bit of attention to make sure the meat does not cook in clumps.
- Then add 350ml of water to the pan and bring to the boil. Cover with pan with the lid, turn the heat down and cook for 15 minutes. Keep stirring at regular intervals to make sure nothing is sticking to the pan.
- After 15 minutes, take the pan lid off and add the chopped potatoes and stir through. You will need to cook the potatoes for another 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and cooked through. If the pan starts to dry out, you can add more water until the potatoes are full cooked.
- Finally, finish with the freshly chopped coriander, garam masala and serve with chapatis or rice!
