Method
Put mince in a heavy saucepan over a low heat, stirring occasionally. Allow the mince to cook in its own fat until all the moisture evaporates (the natural fat from the mince will begin to separate). Chop the tomatoes. Add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, powdered spices , dried mint, salt, tomatoes and peas. Mix them all well cover and leave to cook over a low heat for 45-50 minutes. All the ingredients should be well blended and the mince and peas are tender!!
Pour in the yoghurt and lemon juice. Stirring constantly, fry the mince until
the yogurt and the juice are well absorbed.
