Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 lb ground lamb and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, add the 1 sliced onion and cook over medium until soft and golden, about 6 minutes. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 2 chopped tomatoes and 2 slit green chilies. Cook until tomatoes break down and form a thick paste, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp salt. Add the browned lamb back to the skillet, mixing well.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the meat, about 10 minutes. Adjust salt to taste. Serve hot.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: stir in a handful of fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lemon before serving if you have them.
