- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Salt

Instructions
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Rinse in cold water and set aside.
2. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
4. Add the minced lamb to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Remove the cooked lamb from the pan and set aside.
5. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is soft and golden.
6. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, turmeric powder, and optional red chili powder. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.

12. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
13. Serve hot with rice, flatbreads, or as is for a comforting and satisfying meal.
