Lamb keema with rosti topping

Method

1. Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a wide medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion, season well and fry until softened. Add the finely chopped garlic, grated ginger and green chillies and fry for 2-3 minutes more.
2. In a separate frying pan, dry-fry the cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant, then crush in a pestle and mortar with the turmeric and chilli powder until finely ground. Add to the onion mixture and fry for about 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the mince, turn up the heat and fry for 10 minutes until golden. Drain off the excess fat. Add the lamb stock and vine tomatoes to the saucepan, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes until the lamb is cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
