Mchuzi wa nyama ya kima.. mincemeat sauce

Ingredients:
500gm of minced meat .. I used chicken
2 onions diced
5 tomatoes peeled and crushed/diced . You can substitute with 2 cups of tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
1 bellpepper deseeded and diced
4 Tablespoon of oil.. used olive oil
1 tablespoon of garam masala/curry powder/swahili masala
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons of garlic/ginger/cilantro paste
1 heaped teaspoon of tomato puree
juice of  1 lemon
1 cup of water.
Salt to your liking

** option if eating with rice, bread  add
4-5 potatoes skinned and cut into cubes
**** if you like chilli you can add a whole one

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a sauce pan and then fry the onions till they are translucent. Add the spices and garlic paste and fry for a few minutes. Add the bell pepper and stir, let it soften. {If you are adding potatoes then add them now. Once the potatoes are brown.} add the minced meat and increase the heat slightly. Make sure you keep stirring. The mince meat will release some water and you need it to evaporate and the meat to brown.
2. Add the tomatoes and half a cup of water cover  lower the temperature and let cook for 30-60 minutes.
3.Stir time to time and you may add the remaining half cup of water.
4. Add the lemon juice and a whole chilli pepper if desired.
