Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add lamb and brown on all sides with stirring, breaking up any clumps, 6–7 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add tomato and green chili. Stir, then simmer uncovered until lamb is tender and sauce reduces, 5–6 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
