KEEMA MATAR – MILD (SERVES 6-8)
Proper comfort eating, lamb mince and pea curry. One of my childhood favourites and probably my mum’s favourite curry to make.
WHAT YOU NEED
Ingredients:
60g/2oz ghee, butter, clarified butter or 3 tblsp vegetable oil
700g/1½lb onions, peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 packet of GREEN SAFFRON Keema Matar Spice Mix
1kg/2lb minced lamb
500ml/1 pint (or 4 small pots) natural, plain yoghurt
1 dsp sugar
350g/12oz frozen peas
2 tsp GREEN SAFFRON Garam Masala (optional)
HOW TO MAKE IT
How to make your meal:
- Heat the butter (or clarified butter/oil) in a large casserole dish or saucepan on medium heat, add the sliced onions and garlic and fry until golden.
- Next, add the packet of GREEN SAFFRON Keema Matar Spice Mix and fry for a couple of minutes.
- Add the minced lamb and cook over a medium heat until the meat is just no longer pink.
- Add the yoghurt and sugar and mix together well, then cover the dish or pan. Simmer on a low heat for about 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
- Add the peas and cook just long enough to thoroughly heat them through.
- Finally turn off the heat and serve immediately …simple!
Serving suggestion:
Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of GREEN SAFFRON Garam Masala and serve with Indian Basmati rice.
Alternative Suggestion:
Try replacing the mince with 1kg/2lb of chicken breast cut into bite size pieces.
Remember:
This recipe has been tried and tested by the Green Saffron Masaalchi and is pretty much guaranteed, but if you want to change the quantities of a couple of ingredients go for it….experiment and enjoy your cooking. With Green Saffron spices you can’t go wrong!!!
