Recipe

Put the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

When the oil is hot, put in the ginger, garlic, and curry leaves. Stir.

When the garlic starts to brown, put in the meat.

Stir once or twice and turn the heat to medium-low.

Now put in the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, green chili, and salt.

Stir to mix.

Add 3/4 cup water and cover tightly.

Turn the heat to high until water is boiling then turn heat to low to simmer.

Remove the cover and cook, uncovered, over high heat until all the liquid is gone and the meat has browned a bit. Stir as you do this.

Stir in lots of freshly-ground pepper and the lemon juice.
