Ingredients
- 4 tbsp sunflower oil or any other vegetable oil
- 2 cups Red Onions thinly sliced
- 2 pounds lamb shoulder meat cut in 2 inch chunks
SPICE PASTE
- 1 cup whole milk plain yogurt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp saffron strands
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp ground sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground fennel
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven at 350 F/ 176°C .
- Heat a 3 qt Dutch oven sauce pan over medium heat.
- When the sauce pan is hot, add oil, onions and lamb. Mix well and sauté for 15-20 minutes or until the lamb has seared on all sides.
- Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, add and mix all the spice ingredients and make a paste. Add 2 cups water to this spice paste and mix well; make sure there are no lumps.
- When the lamb has seared, add this mixture to the lamb, mix and cover the sauce pan with a lid. Carefully place the sauce pan in the oven and cook for 1 ½ hours.
- Remove from oven, mix and adjust salt. If the curry is too thick, then feel free to add ¼ cup water, and if the curry is runny then cook it for additional 30 minutes in the oven.
- Additionally, you can add 4-5 fingerling potatoes to the lamb after 45 minutes in the oven. The potatoes will cook along with the lamb and make for an amazing side-dish.
- Serve this rich dish with a fine Pinot Noir wine.
