INDIAN LAMB CURRY WITH BASMATI RICE



Indian Lamb Curry With Basmati Rice image

This wonderfully spiced dish is halfway completed before you start cooking. I've slowly begun to realize that my most successful lamb dishes were made from what was left over from a meal of lamb shanks. When braising season began, I cooked two sizable lamb shanks and, of course, enjoyed them. But I really got into it over the following couple of nights, when I wound up using them to create marvelous meals.

Tips for the Best Curried Rice and Lamb Dish:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, tender lamb and fragrant basmati rice for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the rice, make sure to use a large pot so that the rice has enough space to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
  • Use a good curry powder: The curry powder is key to the flavor of this dish, so choose a high-quality blend that you enjoy.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: In addition to the curry powder, this recipe calls for a variety of other spices, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Don't be afraid to use plenty of these spices, as they will add depth and flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the lamb until it is tender: The lamb should be cooked until it is tender and fall-apart, but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, for an extra pop of flavor and color.
