STEPS
INGREDIENTS
This is aug a simple recipe. The key is to organise all the prep in advance. These are all the whole spices
Heat oil in a non stick pan. Add whole spices. Once they sizzle
Add sliced shallots or onion. Shallots taste much richer. Add salt and brown the onion. The darker the caramelization the deeper the flavor
While the onion is cooking- blend tomatoes, ginger and garlic till smooth
Now add all ground spice and yoghurt
The onion is ready
Add diced lamb. Seal and brown the lamb. For more flavor add some lamb bones.
Add the yoghurt-tomato mixture. Cook for 40 minutes till lamb is tender
Make sure it's not too dry. We are after a thickish tomato gravy. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice
Garnish with deep fried onions for added sweetness and coriander leaves for freshness. Enjoy this with freshly baked naan or flakey paratha.
