Method

Brown the mince well and the rest is easy.

01
Get set
Take the mutton out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Do not wash it: Meatigo mutton is cleaned and ready to cook from pack to pan.
02
Brown the onions
Heat the ghee, add cumin, bay leaf and cardamom, then the onions. Cook for 8 minutes until golden.
03
Add aromatics
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chillies for a minute, then the tomatoes and powders. Cook until the tomatoes break down, about 5 minutes.
04
Brown the mince
Add the mince and break it up with a spoon. Cook on high for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, until the moisture cooks off and the mince browns.
05
Add peas and simmer
Add the peas and 100 ml hot water. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes until the mince is tender.
06
Finish
Stir in the garam masala, lemon juice and coriander. Rest for 2 minutes and serve.
