TIPS

• Mince doesn't take long to cook.Over cooking would make it too dry .

• This particular recipe can be used as a filling for your puff pastry, samosa, or it can even go well with tacos and anything that you think is suitable for/with.

• One more interesting tip would be to add a little smokey flavor to this simple yet very flavorful recipe. Once the mince is ready you can give the smokey effect. This is how its done -

• Place a lit coal on a piece of foil and placing it in the middle of the bowl holding the mixture. Then drop a bit of oil on the coal and cover the bowl for 2 minutes to retain the smoke in the bowl for the mixture to absorb it. Once done, discard the coal.

• This give a whole new BBQ-styled flavor to the dish and enhances the tastes.
