Note
The ingredient list mentions "1/4 cup chopped coriander" in the original directions fragment; add this fresh herb at the very end for brightness.
Ensure the red onion is finely chopped as indicated by the ingredient description to ensure even cooking and distribution.
If the lamb mince is particularly fatty, drain excess fat before adding the spices to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
Adjust the amount of chilli flakes based on your preferred heat level; you can reduce to 1 teaspoon for a milder flavor.
This dish pairs well with flatbreads, couscous, or a simple green salad.
