New Potato And Mince Curry
A firm favourite. The original recipe (good food april 2000) says it serves 4. However, it serves myself only twice. Ok, i'm a pig... The addition of flour comes from me - it helps to fry the minced meat nicer and to bind the liquid slightly. I've also made a few other minor changes to the original recipe.
Steps
Dry the mince thoroughly with kitchen paper.
Dust it with the flour and mix well.
Heat a frying pan and add the mince.
Brown it all over , stirring to break it up.
Remove from pan and set aside.
Add oil and onion to the pan and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic , spices and curry paste.
Stir fry for 1 minute.
Add the mince , potatoes and 600ml / 1pint water , bring to the boil and cover if desired.
I personally like to cook it uncovered.
Simmer for 30 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.
Season with salt to taste.
Stir in the spinach and simmer for 1 minute , uncovered , until wilted.
Ladle into bowls , top with the yogurt and serve with indian bread.
