JAMIE OLIVER'S NORTH INDIAN LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
• Heat oil in a heavy bottomed casserole over medium heat. Fry onion until golden. Add in ginger and fry for few seconds. Add garlic and fry again for 2 minutes.

• Add the lamb pieces, and toss to coat. Add enough salt. Fry for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the spices from sticking to the bottom of the pan. At this stage, you don't need to cook the lamb. Now remove from flame.
• Add in the tomatoes, cinnamon quills, and bay leaves. Give it a good stir, cover it with lid, and pop it in the oven for 1 ½ hrs to 2 hrs. When cooked, the meat starts to fall apart.
• When lamb is nearly cooked, (about 10 minutes before taking it out of the oven) sprinkle it with garam masala, and add in a few sprigs of coriander leaves. Mix well. Leave it in the oven for another 10 minutes.
