CURRY LAMB SHANKS WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Season the lamb on all sides with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven on medium-high heat add the olive oil. When the oil begins to swirl, add the shanks and sear until golden on all sides. Remove the shanks to a plate and add the butter, curry powder, allspice, and paprika. Stir with a wooden spoon until fragrant and the spices darken, about 2 minutes.
• Add the onions, bell pepper, garlic, thyme, scotch bonnet, and then season with salt and pepper. Allow the vegetables to become tender and golden with the spices, about 5 minutes. Stir everything together then add the shanks back to the pot. Add the chicken stock, cover and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is fork tender, about 2 hours. Taste and season if needed, then add the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes more. If making the day before, refrigerate and remove the film of fat from the top before reheating.
• Serve the lamb shanks over Right Rice, recipe follows and garnish with chopped cilantro.
• Rinse the rice 3 times to remove the starch. Put the rice in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the rice by 1/2-inch or measure by placing your thumb tip on the rice and filling the pot with water until the water reaches the middle of your thumbnail. Bring the rice to a simmer, cover and cook until tender and the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice stand another 5 minutes, covered.

CLASSIC LAMB & POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Wash and drain your meat. Peel and chop 3 - 4 onions.
• Place the meat, onions, 2 tsp ginger, 2 tsp garlic, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cardamoms, fenugreek seeds and salt (to your taste) in a pot and cover. Turn the flame to full and cook for 20 - 25 minutes, stir occasionally.
• Gradually you will find that there will be a lot of fluid in the saucepan (top left photo), let the meat cook covered till most of this fluid has evaporated. Remember to stir the curry, stirring prevents it from burning and helps break down the onions, ginger and garlic.
• Once most of the fluid has evaporated and you can see the oil/fat from the meat has separated and is bubbling around the edges of the pan, you're ready to add the oil and spices. I normally add 3 serving spoons, the flat wooden spoon here being my measurement of oil (top right photo) but I estimate this to be about 80 - 100ml. You do need a fair amount of oil for the spices to fry well, you can't expect to cook a decent curry without adding extra oil. Photo on the bottom left, shows you what your meat should look like before adding spices. Once you've added the oil proceed to add spices; add ½ tsp of turmeric (add 1 tsp if you want more colour)....
• tsp of chilli powder (use less/none if you want a mild curry, this is a medium heat curry), 2 heaped tsp mixed curry powder, 1 tsp ground coriander and 1 tsp ground cumin.
• Mix the spices well and allow to fry over a low flame for 5 - 10 minutes to remove the raw taste. You have to be careful at this stage as the curry has very little liquid in it, so has a tendency to burn at the bottom. Make sure you stir it frequently to prevent this. I usually half cover the curry and keep my lid slightly ajar, this helps me keep an eye on the curry and I can smell if it's starting to burn at the bottom. If your curry does brown a little add some water, approximately ¼ glass and leave it to soften the burnt parts then scrape off with a wooden spoon, this normally doesn't affect the taste. If however it burns REALLY badly, I suggest changing pots.
• Meanwhile peel and halve 5 medium potatoes. Rinse and add to the pot, cover again and leave to simmer over a low - medium flame for a further 5 minutes. When the potatoes are half cooked (bottom right photo), you're ready to add water. Don't overcook the potatoes as you will boil them and don't want them to disintegrate.
• Add 1.5 glasses of cold water. After adding the water you should find that the oil from the curry rises to the top. Cover, turn the heat back up to full and allow to boil vigorously for a further 8 -10 minutes. You may add several whole chillies at this point, more for decorative purposes than flavour. Check the salt before taking the curry off the heat and adjust if necessary.
• Remove from the heat, leave covered for several minutes to allow the oil to rise to the top then garnish with fresh coriander. Enjoy your lamb and potato curry with rice, pilau or a flat bread.

POTATO AND LAMB CURRY PUFF FILLING

Steps:

• Toast the coriander seed, cumin seed, fennel seed, and peppercorns in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Use a clean, dry coffee grinder or mortar and pestle to pulverize. Transfer to an electric mini-chopper and add cayenne, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, shallot, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon water. Process to a paste, scraping down the sides occasionally. (If you've used a mortar and pestle, add all the ingredients, except the water, and pound into a paste. Add the water when done.) Transfer to a small bowl and set aside near the stove.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spice paste and gently cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, until it has darkened and become richly fragrant. Add the lamb and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir and mash the meat into small pieces. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until most of the meat no longer looks raw. Add the potato, stir, and then add the 1/4 cup water and salt. Cover, lower the heat slightly, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the potato is tender and there is little liquid remaining. Remove from the heat and use the spoon or spatula to mash half of the potato and make the mixture cohere a bit. Taste and add extra salt, if needed. Mix in a pinch or two of brown sugar if the filling is too spicy. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside to cool completely before using. The filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, covered in plastic wrap, and refrigerated. Return it to room temperature before using.
