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!
