- 1 cup Full-Fat Yogurt
- 4 sprigs Coriander
- 2 tsp Peppercorns black
- 3 Chilies adjust to your spice preference, green
For the Lamb Curry
- 1 kg Lamb with bone-in pieces
- 2 Large Onions chopped
- 2 Tomatoes medium
- Oil for cooking
- 1 inch Cinnamon Stick
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 2 Cardamom Pods black
- 4 Cardamom Pods green
- 4 Cloves
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2 tbsp Coriander ground
- 2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp Chili Powder red
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the yogurt, cilantro sprigs, black peppercorns, and green chilies. Blend until smooth.
- Wash the lamb pieces thoroughly and place them in a large bowl.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the lamb. Marinate for at least 2 hours to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Purée the chopped onions in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
- Separately, purée the tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, bay leaves, black cardamom pods, green cardamom pods, and cloves. Sauté for a minute or two until fragrant.
- Add the onion purée and ginger-garlic paste to the pot. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raw smell disappears and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
- Add the tomato purée to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the mixture thickens.
- Add the ground coriander, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to combine with the onion-tomato mixture.
- Add the marinated lamb to the pot. Stir well to coat the lamb with the spice mixture. Add salt to taste.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot with naan or plain rice.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried. Fresh herbs tend to have a brighter, more pronounced taste.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Taste the dish before serving and add more salt, pepper, or other spices as needed.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking. Give the ingredients enough space to brown properly.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
