Spicy Minced Lamb

A complete meal in itself, this dish could be also served with steamed Basmati rice.
A wonderful combination of flavours with cloves, cardamom and cinnamon, make this dish very complex and so interesting.
To finish the dish, simply add diced potatoes or sweet potatoes and cook for a further 7-8 minutes. Double the recipe… it is even better the following day.
