3 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 egg
1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons ghee

Method :
Place the lamb mince in a large mixing
bowl and add the onion, ginger, garlic, chili, cardamom, egg and

minutes. Stir in the combined
yoghurt and coconut milk and simmer for another 10 minutes with
the pan partially covered. Serve with steamed white
rice.
