Method

In a large bowl, mix together the lamb, garlic and ginger. Stir in the cumin and chilli powder and season with salt. Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan and add the lamb mixture. Fry the meat over a high heat, using a wooden spoon to continuously stir the meat until it has separated, browned and any liquid has evaporated. Transfer the lamb to a bowl and leave until completely cold.
