Ingredients

  • 500 g Lamb Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1- inch Ginger Minced
  • 2 Tomatoes Chopped
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
  • 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
  • 1 tsp Nigella Seeds Kalonji
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder Adjust to your preference
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Yoghurt
  • Coriander For garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and nigella seeds. Sauté for a minute until they start to sizzle and become fragrant.
  • Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
  • Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
  • Now, add the bite-sized pieces of lamb to the pan. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the lamb starts to brown.
  • Lower the heat and add the plain yogurt. Stir it into the lamb mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the yogurt is well incorporated.
  • Pour in enough water to cover the lamb, season with salt, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover the pan and let the lamb cook on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it becomes tender and the oil starts to float on the surface. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Once the lamb is tender and the curry has thickened, remove it from heat.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges.
