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.

SLOW-COOKER LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the lamb into 2 to 3-inch cubes. Add all ingredients into the slow cooker and combine well.Pro tip - I start with the oil, shallots, ginger, and garlic - combine well. Then, add the curry powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Followed by adding the coconut milk, lemon juice, and water- combine well.
• Set the slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours OR on high for 4 hours. until the meat is fork-tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with cilantro. Pro tip - if possible cook on low for 8 hours, I think the results are amazing.
• In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom skillet, add the oil, and saute the onions until translucent.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.
• Add the garlic and ginger and saute a minute more. Then add the meat and saute on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until no longer pink Pro tip - sauteing on medium-high heat will sear the meat keeping the juices inside.
• Next, add the curry powder, garam masala, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add the coconut milk and water or stock.
• Cover the pot and simmer on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until the meat is fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking at the bottom. Also, if necessary add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water at a time to ensure it has enough liquid to cook.Pro tip - if you use a Dutch oven it helps keep moisture inside the pot and you won't need to add more water. Other pots may have more evaporation
• When done taste and adjust the seasoning and consistency. If necessary add more water or turn the heat up to evaporate excess moisture. 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

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.
