Ingredients:





     2 lb Ground meat (hamburger, or


          -other mince)


     3 tb Vegetable oil


     4    Garlic cloves, chopped


     8 oz Onion, chopped


     1 tb Tomato paste


     4 tb Balti masala paste


     1 ts Garam masala (optional)


     1 tb Fresh coriander leaves,


          -chopped






 Stir-fry the minced meat in the wok for 8-12 minutes. Strain off and save


 the liquid. Set the meat aside.


 


 Add the oil to the wok and stir-fry the garlic very quickly: then add


 onion, reduce heat and stir-fry for 10 minutes, until translucent. Add


 Balti paste and garam masala (if you're using it). Raise heat again and


 stir-fry for another few minutes.  Then add the mince to the mixture in the


 wok and continue stir-frying a few minutes more.


 


 Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes. Every now and then, add


 some of the reserved liquid to help keep the mixture from sticking. When


 cooked, add coriander leaves to taste. Serve.
