Notes
In this recipe, I have used ground lamb. You can use any ground meat like ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken. The cooking time remains the same as mentioned in this recipe.
Soak the green moong dal before cooking to reduce cooking time. This step also contributes to a creamier texture in the final dish.
Brown the ground meat well before adding dal and water. This will help develop richer taste and texture.
