Hi all,
I decided to digress from my standard goat/lamb curry recipe and try another recipe I heard about couple of months back instead. It's much easier than the previous recipe of mine and tastier as well, but here's the kicker - it WILL give you a heart attack eventually (man! am *I* good at promoting stuff!). Relax, just don't have it every other day - once a month, with a 10k run or a squash game every week, and you'd be fine.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
Lamb/ Mutton/ Beef curry pieces on the bone (1.5kg)
Oil (100ml)
Ghee (or butter) 50grams
onions 200grams
tomatoes 200grams
garlic paste 1 tablespoon
ginger paste 1 tablespoon
salt to taste
shaan meat masala (other meat masalas would do but I quite like shaan or badshah)
4 tablespoons
thick yoghurt 200grams
cumin 1 tablespoon
1 large cinnamon stick
at least one day before the cooking day, mix the meat, yoghurt, and 1 tablespoon of meat masala and leave in the fridge.
next day...
peel the onions, and blend onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger together. heat oil in a deep thick-base utensil and add the cumin seeds and cinnamon stick. when cumin turns darkish brown, turn heat to mid and add the onion-tomato paste. stir frequently (this paste might splatter so be a bit careful). After exactly 6.15239 minutes, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of meat masala and salt, and after exactly 1.111112 minutes, add the meat and turn heat high). Add the ghee/ oil. Toss frequently and after 5 minutes, cover with lid, turn heat to lowest possible, and cook covered for eternity (1.5 hours for chicken/ 2.5 hours for goat or mutton/ 3 hours for lamb or beef), stirring every 15-20 minutes. Option - for a soupier curry (I prefer the thicker version), you can dd 500 ml water half way through, turn heat high and when boil comes, turn heat to low and cook for the other half of the prescribed time. MMMMMMM lamb currrrry :p
