It takes some time to prepare this dish, but it's definitely worth it. Deliciously warming smooth sauce covering soft pieces of lamb will make you reach for another helping.
You'll need:
600gr lamb leg or shoulder cut into 3-4cm chunks
2 onions
3 cloves of garlic
4cm of ginger
6 cloves
5 green cardomon pods (seeds only)
garam masala
chili powder
150 ml greek yoghurt
200gr chopped tomatoes
fresh coriander (to decorate)
1. Roughly chop the onions and put to a blender with a bit of water. Transfer the mixture into a deep pan and fry over medium heat together with some oil for around 10 minutes.
2. In the same manner, blend the garlic and ginger. Add to the pan.
3. Stir in half of the yoghurt and add the meat. Brown the meat.
4. Grind the cardamon seeds and cloves. Add to the meat together with garam masala and chili powder. Add the rest of the yoghurt and simmer for around an hour with a lid on.
5. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for another 30-40 minutes, et voila!
6. Serve with chapatis or naan bread.
Buon appetito!
