PREP YOUR INGREDIENTS
Peel and finely dice the onion then set aside.- Peel the ginger and garlic, then finely grate both and set aside.
THE COOK
Place a medium saucier or saucepan over high heat. Add the oil and wait for it to heat. Add in the diced onion with ¼ tsp salt and sweat for 2 minutes, stirring often until the onions become translucent.- Add in the lamb mince, grated ginger, garlic and ground spices. Stir and sear until the spices become fragrant and the mince has lightly browned.
- Add in the tinned tomatoes with a splash (50ml) of water. Stir and reduce the heat to a medium simmer for 8 minutes.
- Add in the peas, if using fresh peas, cook for 4 minutes until soft. If the peas are pre-frozen, they take just 2 minutes to heat through.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve over steamed rice and enjoy.
