TABAK MAAZ - FRIED LAMB RIBS

Steps:

• Take the entire rib section and cut into rectangular pieces across the ribs. Care should be taken that the muscle covering the ribs is not removed . Each piece of the rib should be about five inches in length and two inches in width, containing about three to four pieces of rib bone in the meat. Take half litre water and half cup milk in a vessel. Add aniseed, ginger, turmeric, asafoetida and cinnamon powders along with cloves and salt to taste. Stir well and place rib pieces and boil on medium flame till the meat becomes tender and almost all water gets absorbed. Remove the meat pieces and set aside. Heat ghee and deep fry the meat pieces one by one until it turns crispy on both sides. Serve the dish hot.

TABAK MAAZ (KASHMIRI FRIED LAMB RIBS)

Steps:

• Combine the ribs in a large skillet with a pinch of salt and the cayenne, fennel, ginger, turmeric, bay leaves, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, milk, and about 1/2 cup water.
• Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture simmers; cook, turning the meat occasionally, until tender, adding more water if the mixture dries out, 30 to 45 minutes.
• When the ribs are tender, remove them. If any liquid remains in the pan, cook over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any bits that have stuck to the bottom, until the mixture is just about dry.
• Remove the cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves.
• Add the butter to the pan over medium heat and when it's hot, brown the ribs. Remove the ribs to a warm platter and add about 1/2 cup water to the pan.
• Once again, cook over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any bits that have stuck to the bottom, until the liquid is reduced by about half. Pour over the ribs, garnish with cilantro, and serve.
