Advantages: Simple, very quick, very tasty, warms you up on a cold night

Disadvantages: I'm not having it until tomorrow!

1 packet (say 500 grams of lean minced lamb)
4 medium potatoes - chopped into bite-sized chunks
2 medium onions chopped finely
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
Half a bowl of frozen peas
5 cm piece of ginger
2 chopped green chillies (de-seeded)
2 large cloves of garlic
2 (heaped) teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt
3(heaped) teaspoons garam masala
1 and a half teaspoon of haldi (turmeric)
1 teaspoon of ground cumin

So, get a largish pot and heat up a couple of tablespoons of your usual vegetable or olive oil in it. Get the chopped onions frying until they are golden brown. Then add the crushed/chopped garlic, ginger and chillies to the pot and continue frying on medium heat.
After a few minutes of frying - add the minced lamb - and fry it until browned.

Then add all the dry spices - and stir-fry it all - until the browned meat is all coated well. Then add the tin of chopped tomatoes and stir it all about.

After a few mins - add the chopped potatoes - and also pour in a can full of water. Stir it all - and bring to a fierce boil so that the potatoes will cook. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for around half hour.

After about half hour of simmering - add the frozen peas. Let it simmer for another 20 mins - adding some chopped coriander leaf into the pot as well if you have some - and then it will be ready to serve!

Serve with rice and naan bread

Summary: Low cost, convenient and easy curry recipe
