Ingredients
- 500 G Mutton or Lamb
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 2 Medium Potatoes
- 1 Chopped Onion
- 1 Tsp Curry Powder
- 1 Tsp Garlic Paste
- 1 Tsp Ginger Paste
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Can Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 Tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 Medium Green Pepper
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Coriander

- 1/2 Tsp Cumin

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a deep saucepan on medium heat and fry the onion for about five minutes until it becomes soft.
- Add the masala, coriander, cumin, and chili powder (optional) and fry for 1–2 minutes until the onion looks half-cooked.
- Add the meat, garlic, and ginger, and stir for about 3 minutes, then, add canned tomatoes, chopped potatoes, salt, and Green pepper.
- Cover with a lid and simmer over medium to low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring now and again so that the bottom of the pot doesn’t burn.
- Cook uncovered for a few minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken. After a few minutes take the pot off the stove. It is now cooked and ready to serve. Add Black pepper to taste.
- Cut the loaf of bread into quarters and then scoop the centers of each quarter loaf, creating a ‘bowl’ of bread for the curry. Fill the hole of each quarter loaf with the curry and sauce.
- Serve & Enjoy
