Ingredients

1 tsp Oil See notes
500 g Mince See notes
1 Onion See notes
2 Garlic cloves See notes
1 tsp Fresh ginger Peeled and finely chopped, 1 x 2.5cm/1inch piece fresh root ginger. See notes.
3 tbsp Curry paste See notes
400 g Tinned tomatoes
1 tsp White sugar
100 g Peas

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion and garlic over a low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add the mince and ginger and cook until browned all over (about 5 minutes).
Then add the curry paste, sugar, tinned tomatoes PLUS half a can of water (fill the empty tomato can halfway and splash it in).
Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
Add the peas to heat through for a minute or two just before serving.

Notes

Oil: Any flavourless oil is fine here, like sunflower oil.

Mince: I use a 5% fat beef mince to keep it pretty light and healthy. A 10% fat beef mince will make it a little more flavourful. You can also use a lamb mince or turkey mince. Both will work well.

Onions, garlic and ginger: I use pre prepared frozen, chopped here. An onion weighs about 150g, so replace with that pre chopped weight. For garlic, 1 clove is the equivalent of 1 tsp of paste or jarred.

Curry paste: Use whichever your family enjoy, and whichever spice level you prefer. You can also swap this for curry powder if you prefer.
