DELICIOUS INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
• When hot, add the onions. Sauté until the onions begin to turn pale golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve the oil in the pan and turn off the heat.
• In a food processor , pulse the onions into a smooth paste, adding a teaspoon of water if necessary to blend. Transfer to a separate container and reserve.
• Blend the tomatoes, garlic paste, and ginger paste together in the food processor until you have a smooth paste. Transfer to a separate container and reserve for later use.
• Reheat the oil left over from frying the onions over medium heat and add the reserved onion paste. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the tomato mixture, coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala, and mix well.
• Sauté until the oil begins to separate. This can take up to 10 minutes.
• Add the lamb pieces to the mixture and stir to fully coat. Sauté until the lamb is well browned, about 8 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of hot water to the pan and stir to mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the pan. Cook until the lamb is tender. You will need to keep checking on the lamb as it cooks and adding more water if all the water dries up. Stir often to prevent burning. The dish should have a fairly thick gravy when done. Season with salt to taste. This should take roughly 45 minutes.
• When the lamb is cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with naan or hot steamed rice.

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 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 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.

LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• For the lamb curry: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and fenugreek. Moving the skillet constantly, toast the spices until warm and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a spice grinder. Grind into a powder and transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Toss the lamb, 2 tablespoons of flour, the toasted and ground spice blend and some salt together in a large bowl.
• Lightly coat a large Dutch oven with olive oil and heat over medium-high. When the oil is shimmering, add the lamb (work in batches if necessary to not over crowd the pot) and sear, turning as needed, until crispy and golden brown on all sides. Transfer the lamb to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the turmeric, asafetida and onion to the pot. Saute the onion, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot, until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until tender, about 1 minute. Add the celery and fennel and saute until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chickpeas, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, crushed red pepper and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock and the seared lamb with any collected juices and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until meat is tender and almost shreddable but holds its shape, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and plate with rice on the side. Garnish with cilantro and fennel fronds.
• Meanwhile, for the rice: Coat a medium saucepan with olive oil and heat over medium. Add the onion and a sprinkle of salt and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, rice and bay leaves and some salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.
