Ground meat meal (Tataali)


Ingredients:

1. Ground lamb or beef or turkey (lamb is preferred) 1 pound
2. Potatoes 4 medium (peeled and cut into 8 pieces)
3. Tomatoes 4 medium (cut into 8 pieces)
4. Onion 1 large (grated)
5. Turmeric 1tsp
6. Oil 2 Tbsp

Directions:

In an appropriate bowl combine meat, onion and 1 tsp of salt mix until well blended.
Put mixture in an appropriate pan (non stick pan is preferred) and make it flat in bottom of the pan until it cover all surface of the pan bottom (should be about half of inch thick)
Make a hole in the middle using your finger and put on medium heat.
When the pan is getting warm some meat juice will appear when all the juice is evaporated add 2 Tbsp oil cut the now formed meat in four same size pieces (or quarter). When meats got fried turn down the pieces and fry the other sides too.
Add potatoes and tomatoes and 3 cups of water. Bring to boil add turmeric and rest of salt
