Lamb Curry

So this is a dish we make pretty much once a week,  I guess that makes it a staple in this house.  It's fast, easy, delicious and I pretty much always have all of the ingredients on hand.  I buy my ground lamb here, and usually stock up on four or five 1lb packages when I do.  If you don't like lamb you can use any other ground meat in this recipe.  But I find the flavors of this dish just perfect.
I start with this recipe, only I substitute ghee or coconut oil for the vegetable oil and use some garam masala (a blend of spices you can find in most Indian specialty stores, also in the international section of Wegmans) in place of some of the curry powder.  I skip the broth and it still works fine, probably because I am not putting it over rice or sopping up the sauce with some bread.  I feel the sweet potato and peas provide plenty of "carb" for this dish, no need for any more.  Enjoy!
