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.
