Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 500 g/1 lb green peppers, cored, deseeded and sliced

  • 500 g/1 lb onions, sliced

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • pinch of ground cinnamon

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 750 g/1 1/2 lb minced lamb

  • red onion rings, to garnish

Method:

  1. Heat the oil in a preheated Balti pan, wok or heavy based frying pan. Add the peppers and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Remove the peppers with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

  2. Add the onions to the oil and fry until they are golden brown. Add the salt, pepper, cumin, gram masala, cinnamon and chili powder and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

  3. Add the minced lamb and cook gently for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure that it does not stick to the base of the pan.

  4. Return the green peppers to the pan and heat through over a low heat for a further 10 minutes.

  5. Garnish with onion rings and serve with poppadums.
