Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

200g strong white flour
1/4tsp salt
50ml water (approx)
40ml oil
600g lamb mince
1/2tsp red chilli powder
1/2tsp turmeric powder
1/2tsp coriander powder
1/2tsp cumin powder
1 finely chopped green chilli
1tbsp ginger, chopped
100g peas (frozen will do)
1tsp salt
Oil for deep frying

For the seasoning

2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp garlic purée
I medium-sized onion, chopped

Make a soft dough with the flour, salt, and the water (as required) and oil. Set it aside, covered with a wet cloth, until needed. Cook the minced lamb with the salt, powdered spices, ginger, green chilli and a little water.

In a separate pan, heat the oil, then add the garlic paste, and sauté along with the onions until golden brown in colour. Add the cooked lamb mince, green peas and correct seasoning.

Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll them into flat rounds 4 inches in diameter. Place 1 tbsp of mince on one side and fold to make a half-moon shape. Moisten and seal the edges. Refrigerate the pastries for 10-15 minutes, and then deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
