  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Meat, Indian

 Ingredients List

  • 5 tb Corn oil
  • 2 md Onions, chopped
  • 1 ts Shredded ginger
  • 1 ts Sliced garlic
  • 6 Whole dried red chillies
  • 3 Cardamom pods
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks
  • 6 Black peppercorns
  • 3 Cloves
  • 1/2 ts Salt
  • 450 Boned leg of lamb
  • 2 1/2 c Water
  • 2 Fresh green chillies
  • 2 tb Chopped fresh coriander

 Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Lower the heat slightly and fry the
onions until they are lightly browned.

2. Add half the ginger and half the garlic and stir well.

3. Throw in half the red chillies, the cardamoms, cinnamon, peppercorns,
cloves and salt.

4. Add the lamb and fry over a medium heat. Stir continously with a
semi-circular movement, using a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the
pan. Continue in this way for about 5 minutes.

5. Pour in the water, cover with a lid and cook over a medium-low heat for
35-40 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the meat is tender.

6. Add the rest of the ginger, garlic and dried red chillies, along with
the fresh green chillies and fresh coriander.

7. Continue to stir over the heat until you see some free oil on the sides
of the pan. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

NOTE: With whole spices (khara) used in this curry, you should warn your
diners of their presence especially the whole dried red chillies! ;-)
