Ingredients

  • 500 g Lamb
  • 2 Onions
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 100 g Yoghurt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 2 tsp Turmeric Powder Haldi
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 100 ml Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves Methi
  • 200 ml Water

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a wok or karahi pot on low-medium heat before adding the finely sliced onions
  • Cook the onions for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until the onions start to soften and become translucent
  • Add the lamb and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes then add the salt and mix
  • Whilst the lamb is cooking chop the tomatoes and add into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are soft
  • Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger paste, garlic paste, black pepper and garam masala then cook the spices for 5 minutes
  • Add the water and reduce the heat to low-medium then leave to cook for 30-45 minutes until the water dries up and the lamb is soft – if the lamb is still tough add more water and cook for longer
  • Increase the heat to medium and add the yoghurt before stirring immediately and cook for 10-15 minutes – it is important to stir immediately and continuously to prevent the yoghurt from curdling
  • Add the cumin seeds, dried fenugreek leaves, bullet chillies and ginger and leave to cook for 2-3 minutes
  • Garnish with coriander and enjoy with naan or boiled rice!

Yes, you can use goat but it isn’t as common in the UK. Goat does taste better but lamb is the easier option.😊
