Best Lamb Curry Recipe Ever

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and gently fry the onion, garlic and ginger until soft and golden.
• Add the curry powder, salt and vinegar and stir thoroughly.
• Add the lamb and cook, stirring constantly until the lamb is coated with the spice mixture.
• Add the tomatoes, chillies and mint.
• Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1 1/4 hours or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garam masala and chopped coriander in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• *note-the tomatoes should provide enough liquid for the meat to cook in, but if necessary, add a little hot water, (approximately 1/2 a cup) just enough to stop the meat sticking to the saucepan.

Steps:

• For the lamb curry: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and fenugreek. Moving the skillet constantly, toast the spices until warm and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a spice grinder. Grind into a powder and transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Toss the lamb, 2 tablespoons of flour, the toasted and ground spice blend and some salt together in a large bowl.
• Lightly coat a large Dutch oven with olive oil and heat over medium-high. When the oil is shimmering, add the lamb (work in batches if necessary to not over crowd the pot) and sear, turning as needed, until crispy and golden brown on all sides. Transfer the lamb to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the turmeric, asafetida and onion to the pot. Saute the onion, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot, until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until tender, about 1 minute. Add the celery and fennel and saute until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chickpeas, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, crushed red pepper and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock and the seared lamb with any collected juices and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-low and allow to simmer until meat is tender and almost shreddable but holds its shape, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and plate with rice on the side. Garnish with cilantro and fennel fronds.
• Meanwhile, for the rice: Coat a medium saucepan with olive oil and heat over medium. Add the onion and a sprinkle of salt and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, rice and bay leaves and some salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.
• For the chutney: Coat a medium skillet with olive oil and heat over medium. Add the fennel and onion and cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, crushed red pepper and a sprinkle of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the mixture has reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
• Serve curry with rice and chutney.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add onions, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cinnamon stick, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom. Cook, stirring, until spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 15 seconds more.
• Add lamb, potatoes, and broth. Season with salt. Secure pressure-cooker lid and bring to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to medium to maintain high pressure. Cook 24 minutes; remove from heat. Vent pressure, then remove lid. Stir in spinach. Season with salt and serve with accompaniments.

Steps:

• Put ½ the thumb-sized piece of ginger, 2 quartered onions and 4 garlic cloves in a food processor with 300ml water. Blitz to a smooth purée.
• Scrape down the sides with a spoon and blitz again to make it as smooth as you can. Tip into a deep sauté pan, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins.
• Remove the lid and cook for 5 mins more, stirring occasionally. By now the liquid should be all gone. If not, cook a little longer.
• Add 2 tbsp rapeseed oil to the pan with the remaining piece of ginger, cut into matchsticks. Turn up the heat and fry, stirring, for 3-5 mins until it starts to colour.
• Stir in 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tbsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground turmeric and ½ tsp fennel seeds, then add 750g leg of lamb. Stir-fry until the lamb changes colour.
• Tip in 400g can chopped tomatoes with a can of water and 1 deseeded and sliced red or green chilli, season well, cover and leave to simmer for 1 hr.
• Stir in the finely chopped stalks from a small bunch coriander, re-cover and cook for a final 30 mins until the lamb is tender. Add a splash of water if necessary to loosen the consistency as it cooks.
• Stir in the roughly chopped coriander leaves and serve with basmati rice and mango chutney or raita.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pan; add bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves.
• When leaves begin to sizzle and fragrance starts to release, add onions and saute until light golden, about 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the ginger paste, garlic, chile pepper, and lamb.
• Season the lamb with salt; continue cooking, stirring mix, for about 20 minutes more, adding a little water if necessary to keep food from sticking.
• Add turmeric, coriander powder, cayenne, and garam masala; stir for 5 minutes, adding 2 tablespoons water.
• Add diced tomatoes, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Then add 4 cups of water and simmer for 15 minutes, or until meat is getting tender.
• Lower heat.
• Whisk the yogurt with a fork; and add to the pot slowly.
• Then cook until meat is done to your liking and sauce is thickened.
• Garnish with cilantro leaves.
• Serve with steamed basmati rice, or hot Indian breads, such as Naan.

Steps:

• Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon curry powder, the salt, the ground ginger and the black pepper. Add spice mix to large bowl and toss with lamb.
• Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
• Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Cut meat, as uniformly as possible, into 2 by 3 inch cubes. Generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Cook meat until golden brown on all sides, then reserve on a platter. In same pot, cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and all dry spices, and cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return meat to pan and pour in lamb stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, 1 hour 15 minutes. Occasionally skim and discard fat that rises to the top.
• Ladle warm stew over a bed of basmati rice and serve with Orange Dal with Ginger and Garlic. Garnish with yogurt and Fried Onions. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat. Saute lamb and onion in the hot oil until lamb is browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in broth, raisins, almonds, chutney, vinegar, curry, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
• Stir in rice. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Sprinkle lamb with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick pot or large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lamb in the hot butter until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove meat and keep warm.
• Melt remaining butter in the same pot over medium heat and cook and stir onion until golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in curry. Cook for 1 minute. Return meat; add broth and raisins. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Serve over rice.
