Ingredients

  • 200 ml Oil
  • 2 Onion
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 kg Lamb
  • 1 kg Nalli
  • 2 litre Water
  • 50 g Nihari Masala
  • 2 tsp Salt adjust to taste
  • 1 handful Fresh Coriander
  • 4 Green Chillies for garnish
  • 1 inch Ginger julienne, for garnish

For The Slurry

  • 50 g Flour
  • 100 ml Water

Instructions

  • Add oil to a large pot and heat it up on medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook them until they turn golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the ginger paste and garlic paste to the pot and sauté for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to develop.
  • Add the meat to the pot and cook it until it changes color, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the spices and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, letting them blend into the meat.
  • Add the nalli to the pot and stir it in, allowing it to mix well with the other ingredients.
  • Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then cover the pot and let it cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the meat is tender and cooked through, carefully remove the excess oil from the surface, as the slurry will absorb it during the next step.
  • Add the slurry (flour and water mixture) to the pot, stirring it in thoroughly. Cook for another 10-15 minutes on low heat, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh coriander, green chillies, and julienned ginger before serving.
