Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 pounds lamb front leg
3 tablespoons yogurt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 lemon, squeezed
1 cup mustard oil
10 cloves
6 green cardamom pods
2 black cardamom pods
4 cinnamon sticks
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoons ginger paste
1 tablespoon garlic paste
2 teaspoons asafetida
Salt (to taste)
4 teaspoons Kashmiri red chile powder
2 teaspoons fennel powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cups yogurt, whisked
1/2 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Serving suggestions: basmati rice, chapati or naan

Steps:

  • For the lamb preparation: Chop lamb into bite-size pieces. In a bowl, combine lamb, yogurt, salt, turmeric and lemon juice and mix together. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse the lamb with water to draw out impurities and any gamey odors.
  • For the curry: Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mustard oil and allow it to smoke. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Spoon in the ginger paste and garlic paste and saute until slightly browned, about a few minutes.
  • Toss in the lamb pieces and saute until the lamb begins to shrink and develop a nice shine, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the asafetida and salt and saute for 1 minute.
  • In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup water with the chile powder, fennel powder, garam masala, ginger powder and turmeric. Add this mixture to the saucepan. Saute until you see the oil bubbling up, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the yogurt and stir well for about 2 minutes. Add 2 to 3 cups water.
  • Cover the pan and simmer on medium-low heat until the lamb is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the fenugreek leaves. Allow it to settle down, covered, for about 20 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, spoon the curry out into bowls. Garnish with the cilantro and serve with a side of basmati rice, chapati or naan.
