So we received this amazing cook book this year for Christmas. You will not find anyone who loves Indian food more than Jonathan. So I will be making 20 different Indian meals for him and sharing the recipes!
Indian Meal #1: Bhunnae Gosht ki Kari or
Pan-Roasted Lamb Curry
Ingredients
3 Tbs vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tbs peeled and minced, fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 large tomatoes, chopped
2 tbs ground coriander
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground tumeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt, or to taste
2 lbs boneless leg of lamb, fat trimmed and cut into 1-2" pieces
1.5 cups nonfat plain yogurt, whisked until smooth
3-4 cups water
1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
1.) Sauté the onions in oil over medium heat for 10-12 minutes in a wok or saucepan
2.) Add ginger & garlic, stir about a minute, then add the tomatoes, cook 5 minutes until juiced evaporate
3.) Add coriander, garam masala, cumin, tumeric, and cayenne pepper and stir for 30 seconds
4.) Mix in lamb and salt, cook on high for 5 minutes, then medium for 15-20 until well-browned and fragrant
5.) Add yogurt slowly (stirring constantly to prevent curdling) cook 5 minutes
6.) Add water and cover, cook until lamb is fork tender and is thick 50-60 minutes, add the fenugreek leaves during last 5 minutes of cooking
7.) Serve with a sprinkle of cilantro and/or garam masala on top
To save some time, I added a bit a roux and cut the water in half, it was thick and bubbly in no time. And the lamb was still very tender.
Happy eating!
