Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground lamb

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons garam masala

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 4 teaspoons tomato paste

  • ¾ cup beef broth

Directions

  1. Cook lamb in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer lamb to a bowl; drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet.

  2. Add onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in garam masala and salt; cook for 1 minute. Return browned lamb to the pan with broth and tomato paste. Reduce the heat and simmer until lamb is fully cooked through and liquid has evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.
