About

You can combine this spicy, herb-filled, aromatic mince stir-fry with naan for a reviving breakfast or quick lunch. You can even have it as a simple dinner if you add a vegetable dish or a pickle, and of course some bread or rice. Use chicken mince if turkey doesn’t appeal.

Ingredients

2 tsp ghee
1 tsp sunflower oil
1

Method

Heat the ghee and oil together in a shallow saucepan or sauté pan with a lid over a medium heat. When hot, add the cumin, black peppercorns, coriander seeds and cinnamon and fry for 30 seconds or so until they start to splutter. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and cook for 5–7 minutes until the onions are light brown around the edges and the raw smell of ginger and garlic disappears.
