Lamb Curry image

This recipe is from the northern part of India. You could use cuts of boneless lamb but I feel the bones add in the extra flavour.

Number Of Ingredients 20

500 g leg of lamb, cut into small chunks including bones, fat trimmed off
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or any flavourless oil)
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
2 large onions, chopped
1 inch fresh ginger, ground to a paste
4 -5 garlic cloves, ground to a paste
5 whole cloves
4 green cardamoms, slightly crushed
2 (2 inch) cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves
6 -8 peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons plain yogurt, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 -4 tablespoons coriander leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan, and fry the cloves, cardamoms, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and peppercorns till they start to pop (over medium to high heat), should take a minute or so.
  • Next add in the garlic-ginger paste and the onions and fry till soft and golden (add a little water if the mixture is sticking to the base).
  • Next add in the turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and salt and fry for another 5-10 mins adding a little water if necessary (bear in mind spices burn easily).
  • Add in the beaten yoghurt and stir it in thoroughly for 2 minutes and then mix in the tomato paste and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Now add in the chunks of meat and stir in well making sure the meat is coated with the curry mixture.
  • Add in water enough to cover the lamb (about 1/2 litre) giving it a good stir again and now reduce the heat to low and let this simmer gently with the lid on for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Now add in the garam masala powder and cook for another 30 minutes till the sauce has thickened.
  • Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat.
  • Serve hot with plain basmati rice or naan bread (Recipe #215545).
