  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small serrano chile, minced
  • About 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb

  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • Hot cooked rice

Method

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add garlic, chile, 1 tsp. salt, and the spices; cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in tomato paste.
  • Add lamb and cook, breaking up large chunks of meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes, yogurt, and milk to pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat until mixture is simmering vigorously, cover, and cook 10 minutes.
  • Stir in peas and cook 5 minutes longer, until peas are cooked through and mixture has thickened. Serve over rice with cilantro sprinkled on each serving. Add more salt to taste if you like.
