- 2-3 Medium Potatoes ( Peeled and Cubed)
- 1 Medium Onion ( Sliced)
- 2 Tomatoes ( Pureed) See Notes
- 1 tbsp Garlic Ginger Paste
- ⅓ Cup Oil

- 1½ tsp Red Chilli Powder

Instructions
- In a pan heat the oil and add black pepper corns, cloves and cinnamon stick. Temper for a minute
- Add sliced onions and fry them until light golden. Add Garlic ginger and fry for another minute.
- Add Tomato puree and mix well. Add all the spices except garam masala. Mix well and keep cooking until oil starts to separate.
- Add Mince and fry it while breaking any clumps that get formed. Cook until the mince changes colours and water evaporates. It should be around 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add potatoes and stir them in. Add half a cup of water. Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Lastly add some coriander, green chillies and garam masala. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with some coriander/cilantro and julienne cut ginger. Serve it with naan, roti or rice.
Notes
- Use lean fat free mincemeat.
- You can puree the tomatoes in blender/food processor or very finely chop them. Canned tomato puree can be used as well
- If you don't want too much spice, you can add the chillis whole instead of slicing them. They give beautiful aroma without making the curry spicy.
