Having spent a year in India, Rajasthan to be specific, there are certain elements of Indian food that still entice the senses. Sight being one and aroma being another and, in this case, word association with a given recipe. Never, ever had beef in India. It was probably goat or mutton – which is old lamb and not the same!
But this recipe just triggered some of those responses. So …… tonight this is what we are having. I have everything here to make this – I just pulled some ground lamb from the freezer. If you want a printable recipe, just Click Here. In the meantime, here is the recipe. Enjoy!! I have converted the metric weights and measures to pounds and ounces where necessary.

This recipe makes very good filling for jaffles and is also delicious on toast.

Note: The appliance is known by various names around the world, including toasted sandwich maker or jaffle iron in Australia and South Africa, toastie maker or toastie pie maker in the United Kingdom. Breville, manufacturers of some of the earliest sandwich toasters, is sometimes used eponymously.
Typical toasted sandwiches are a grilled cheese sandwich, tuna melt, or patty melt. Toasted sandwiches are also known by various names. They are frequently called toasties in Britain, brevilles, jaffles in Australia (also brevilles in South Africa) or toasties in New Zealand. Jaffles are so named after the original jaffle iron (U.S. English: “pie iron”). Sandwich toasters are less common in the United States where grilled cheese sandwiches are more popular.
Sandwich toasters are notorious for being used relatively little, because of their specialised nature. A survey carried out in 2005 suggested that 45% of British adults owned but did not use sandwich toasters.
