Indian Lamb And Vegetable Curry Recipes

INDIAN LAMB CURRY

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.

• To cook your pappadums - put 4 on a microwave proof rack or plate lines with kitchen paper and cook on high (100% power) for 1 to 2 minutes (I have a 900watt microwave and mine took 1 minute 30 seconds) until they expand and crispy and then repeat till all pappadums are cooked and serve with the lamb and some rice.
• Freeze left overs in containers for another time.

AUTHENTIC INDIAN LAMB CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Then seed, peel, and dice your tomatoes reserving the juice in a bowl. Whisk in the beef broth, tomato paste, and all spices (except the cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf). Set to the side.

Saute for 2-3 minutes and then add your diced tomatoes and saute for another minute. Add your lamb and stir together all ingredients, then add your reserved sauce with the tomato juice, beef, broth, tomato paste, and spices.
• Turn off your Instant Pot and turn it onto the pressure cook setting on high for 20 minutes. Quick-release and turn off your instant pot. Let cool for a minute and then add in the Greek yogurt.
• If you are cooking this on the stove, you will follow all instructions exactly the same and simmer on very low heat for 60 minutes. Then let cool and add in your yogurt.
• If you are using a slow-cooker, add your lamb at the very bottom and top with the tomatoes, then onions, garlic, and ginger. Pour the sauce (reserved tomato juice, beef broth, tomato paste, and spices) over the top and add the cardamom, cloves, and bay leaf. Slow cook for 8 hours. Once finished let cool slightly and then add the yogurt. In the slow-cooker you can omit the ghee.

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.
