SPICY LAMB CURRY

Spicy Lamb Curry image

I've tweaked this curry over the years using a blend of aromatic spices. Fenugreek seeds can be found in specialty spice stores and are common in Middle Eastern curries and chutneys, but you can leave them out of this recipe if you desire. -Janis Kracht, Windsor, New York

LAMB CURRY

We eat this a lot, sometimes using beef or chicken, and find this an easy dish when we want a quick curry fix. You can add a couple of peeled, diced pootatoes and about 2 cups of water for the final 30 minutes of cooking.

2 tablespoons oil
3 large onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons curry powder
3 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Add the curry powder, salt and vinegar and stir thoroughly.
Add the lamb and cook, stirring constantly until the lamb is coated with the spice mixture.
Add the tomatoes, chillies and mint.
Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1 1/4 hours or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the garam masala and chopped coriander in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 24

Ingredients

2 lb Lamb (leg or shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 tbsp Oil (Cooking or Olive oil )
1 tbsp Ghee (or oil)
2 tbsp Garlic (4 large garlic cloves minced)
2 tbsp Ginger (3-inch fresh ginger grated)
3 cups Onions (red or brown finely chopped)
1 cup Tomatoes (chopped)
¾ cup Yogurt (Greek, plain)
1 tbsp Lemon juice
½ tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Kosher salt
2 Cinnamon stick
8 Cloves
8 Green cardamoms
2 Black cardamoms
3 Bay leaves
1 Mace ((optional))
2 tbsp Coriander powder
¾ tbsp Cumin powder
¼ tsp Turmeric powder
1 tbsp Cayenne (hot)
1 tbsp Paprika (sweet)
1 tbsp Fenugreek leaves ((optional))
½ tsp Garam masala powder

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.
