help does anyone have a good recipe for a mince lamb curry

[jack daniels]

crackle ingredients

stick of cinnamon
couple of bayleaves
2-3 cardomons
2-3 cloves
1 tablespoon oil
1 star anise

curry ingredients

500g minced lamb
1 large onion - chopped
1 heaped teaspoon minced/grated garlic
1 heaped teaspoon minced/grated ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 large tin of tomatoes
2 teaspoons chilli powder - or to taste
1 twaspoon tumeric (haldi)
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 chopped green chilli
1 potato peeled & chopped - optional
4 ounces frozen baby peas - optional
handful of chopped coriander for garnish

heat oil in a pan, add crackle ingredients & let them heat up - they will release an aroma.
Add the onion & fry until browned.
Add the tin of tomatoes and continue to cook until approximately reduced by a third (about 8-10 mins)
Now add all the other ingredients except for the mince, coriander & garam masala.
Continue cooking for another 5 mins.
Add all of the mince and stir fry on a high heat for around 3-5 mins so that everything is coated in the spicy sauce. place a lid on the pan and let it contue cooking on a medium heat for a further 10 mins. Make sure you give it a stir half way through.
Add about a cup of boiling water - or to the thickness you require the sauce to be, stir, cover & cook for another 10 mins.
Now you can add some peeled chopped potatoes and continue to cook until they're tender.
Add frozen peas if using and cook for 5 mins.
Turn the gas off, sprinkle with coriander and garam masala.

Enjoy!

Although it seems a little time consuming, it will be a wonderful result.

Tip - adjust the seasoning to taste before serving

This is the recipe that I have used for years......I could probably do it with my eyes closed!! Serve it with nan bread and lots of greek yogurt.

ANY recipe by Madhur Jaffrey will be easy to follow.....and will be both different and much better than anything from a restaurant.
