  5. In between stir, the lamb mince, potato and the spices are mixed well and have left water and oil while cooking.
  6. Let it cook till the lamb mince and potato are cooked well and is as per your consistency.
  7. At last garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

Notes

  1. Can avoid black cardamom and mace as it is over powering the curry.
  2. Can reduce spices as per your taste.
  3. Can add bones in the mince it will give more taste to the masala curry, if adding first roast the bones as it takes time to cook.
  4. No need to add water, as mince starts leaving water while cooking and the curd is added it will get cooked fast.
