Ingredients

  • 200 g Lentils red
  • 250 g Minced Meat lamb
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1, Onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger grated
  • 1, Green Chili finely chopped

  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 200 g Tomatoes

Instructions

  • Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes.

  • Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the soaked lentils and add them to the pan along with the water.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked through and the mixture has thickened to your liking.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving. Enjoy your delicious Keema Dal!
