Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat and briefly toast the cardamom pods, cassia bark, dried chillies and bay leaves. Immediately add the onion and cook for 1 minute, stirring, then add the garlic and ginger pastes and cook for a further minute.

  • step 2

    Add the mutton or lamb, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle in the ground coriander, cumin seeds, chilli powder and turmeric. Cook, uncovered, until all the liquid from the mince has evaporated. Add 100ml of just-boiled water, the tomato purée and ¾ tsp of salt, and stir everything together.

  • step 3

    Bring the mixture to the boil, then cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook over a medium-high heat until almost all the liquid has been reduced. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and scatter with the mint before serving.
