  • 500g lamb mince
  • Thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
  • 3 crushed garlic cloves
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp curry powder

  • Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onions for 10 mins until softened and golden. Add the lamb, and brown for a few mins before stirring in the garlic, spices, tomato purée and ginger. Add 600ml water, the stock cube, a pinch of sugar and bring to a simmer for 45 mins, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, boil the sweet potatoes for about 15 mins until tender, then drain and steam dry.
