INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom skillet, add the oil, ghee, and whole spices.Pro tip - if possible use a Dutch oven as it retains heat evenly and will cook without losing too much liquid. if not, use a heavy bottom skillet with a tight lid.
• Then, add onions and saute until caramelized, almost brown - about 10 minutes (see video).Pro tip - depending on the heat it may take 10 to 15 minutes to caramelize the onions. Do not cook on high as it will burn the onions not caramelize.
• Next, add the ginger and garlic - saute for another minute. Add the lamb pieces, saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the lamb is no longer pink.Pro tip - ginger and garlic can burn easily so keep the heat on medium. Then turn the heat a little higher to sear the lamb on all sides.
• Then, add the ground spices and chopped tomatoes. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
• Next, add the yogurt. Combine it then add 1/2 cup water. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.Pro tip - stir the yogurt separately in a small bowl to ensure there are no lumps before you add it to the lamb otherwise you will have lumps in the curry.
• Continue to simmer it on the stovetop on medium-low heat stirring frequently until meat is cooked through and becomes fork-tender - about 1 to 1 ½ hour adding water if necessary. Pro tip - Always ensure you have enough water so the meat has enough moisture to cook. If necessary add ¼ to ½ cup more.
• When cooked to fork-tender, taste and adjust seasoning. Adjust gravy by adding a bit more water depending on how you going to serve it.Pro tip - If you serve it with chapati, naan, or roti - keep it thick. If you serve with rice, add a little water to make a gravy.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

• Season cubed lamb with salt and pepper then add to the pot of oil and spices. Brown all over, about 5-7 minutes.Add onion puree and sweat a little to remove some of the moisture - about 8 minutes.

Fold in the yogurt and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and scallions serve with steamed basmati rice and raita.

AUTHENTIC INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Wash the lamb well in cold water removing the loose slimey film from each piece. Don't worry about drying the lamb - keep it nice and wet (the lamb absorbs the water and allows the meat to become nice and tender).
• In a large steel saucepan heat the oil and then add in the onions to fry over a high heat. When the onions have started to go translucent then add in the Black and Green Cardamoms, Cinnamon Stick, Black peppercorn, finger chillies, Bay leaves, Salt and finally the Cumin Seeds. Continue to fry over high heat until the onions have turned a reddish brown colour. Make sure you keep on stirring.
• Add in the ginger paste, garlic paste and fry for a few minutes adding some water. Make sure you keep on stirring.
• Add the turmeric, coriander and chilli powder and mix in well. Add in a further ½ cup of water. Make sure you keep on stirring.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and then lower the heat and continue to slow fry until the tomatoes have disintegrated into the sauce and the oil starts to separate. This may take a little time! Make sure you keep on stirring.
• Add in the lamb and stir well to coat everything and then finally add in the yoghurt. Cover and let simmer for 45 minutes to an hour stirring every 5 or 10 minutes to stop it all burning at the bottom of the pan.
• The dish is ready when the lamb is soft and tender and the oil has once again separated from the sauce. Once cooked add in the juice of the lemon.
• Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve with warm fresh Naan bread.

Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.
