Directions For Easy Lamb Curry Recipe
1. In a large steel saucepan heat the oil and then add in the onions to fry over a high heat. When the onions have started to go translucent then add in the Black and Green Cardamoms, Cinnamon Stick, Black peppercorn, finger chillies, Bay leaves, Salt and finally the Cumin Seeds. Continue to fry over high heat until the onions have turned a reddish brown colour. Make sure you keep on stirring.
2. Add in the ginger paste, garlic paste and fry for a few minutes adding some water. Make sure you keep on stirring.
3. Add the turmeric, coriander and chilli powder and mix in well. Add in a further ½ cup of water. Make sure you keep on stirring.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes and then lower the heat and continue to slow fry until the tomatoes have disintegrated into the sauce and the oil starts to separate. This may take a little time! Make sure you keep on stirring.
5. Add in the lamb and stir well to coat everything and then finally add in the yoghurt. Cover and let simmer for 45 minutes to an hour stirring every 5 or 10 minutes to stop it all catching and burning at the bottom of the pan.
6. The dish is ready when the lamb is soft and tender and the oil has once again separated from the sauce. Once cooked add in the juice of the lemon.
7. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve with warm fresh Naan bread.
