Healthy Hints

Choose a mono-unsaturated oil like rapeseed, canola or olive, or better still, try a spray oil so you use less. See if you can gradually get the salt down to a teaspoon for the whole recipe.

Cooking Guide

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and caramelize till golden brown.

2. Add salt and all the spices along with the freshly crushed garlic and ginger, then sauté well to enhance the flavour.

3. Add the lamb; stir frequently to coat the meat with spices.

4. Add enough water to help cook the meat, cover and cook on a medium-low heat till the meat is cooked through.

Bonus Tip:

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
