Time 35m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (500 g) packet pasta shells (macaroni)
250 g ground lamb
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons ginger paste
2 tablespoons garlic paste
250 ml yogurt
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
3 teaspoons red chili powder
4 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
2 green chilies
1 lime, juice of
salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil (or any other)

Steps:

  • Take a deep pan and heat the 1& 1/2 tbsps oil.
  • Add chopped onions and fry till transclucent.
  • lower the flame to medium heat and add the garam masala powder and fry for a couple of seconds.
  • Add the lamb mince and fry till no longer pink and water has dried up.
  • Keep breaking the lumps to ensure the meat is lump free.
  • Now add the Ginger-garlic paste ,chilli powder and salt and fry for another minute.
  • Add the yogurt and cook for 2-3 minutes,stirring now and then to get a uniform mixture.
  • Now add the chopped tomatoes,green chillies,lime juice and the chopped coriander,and mix well.
  • Cover the pan and let cook on low flame for 15 mins,till you can see some oil on the top of the curry.
  • Cook the pasta as per instructions (a little under done).
  • Mix the pasta in the curry and let cook on the lowest flame for a further 5-10 minutes.
  • The entire dish should be saucy-- Garnish with a few coriander leaves.
  • I usually serve it with some yogurt chutney.
  • NOTE:.
  • The yogurt might break up due to the heat,so please don't worry about it.It is just a process,that will make the curry,taste tangy rather than creamy.
  • I wanted to add a few sugesstions to this recipe after reading the reviews -- the oil can be reduced if your mince is fatty,this is just an estimate,so go by your judgement -- as for the tomatoes,i usually add tin when fresh is not available,and personally i feel it doesnot alter the taste -- .

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The curry flavor is just right and the macaroni is always cooked to perfection.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. The curry flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Overall, I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family. The curry flavor was mild enough for my kids to enjoy, but it still had a nice kick to it. The macaroni was cooked perfectly and the overall texture of the dish was great.
