Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions (thinly sliced)
2 large tomatoes (diced)
2 tablespoons garlic paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder or stew meat (cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks)
1/2 cup hot water
Salt (to taste)
Garnish: cilantro (chopped, fresh)
For Serving: Naan or steamed basmati rice

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add the onions. Sauté until the onions begin to turn pale golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve the oil in the pan and turn off the heat.
  • In a food processor , pulse the onions into a smooth paste, adding a teaspoon of water if necessary to blend. Transfer to a separate container and reserve.
  • Blend the tomatoes, garlic paste, and ginger paste together in the food processor until you have a smooth paste. Transfer to a separate container and reserve for later use.
  • Reheat the oil left over from frying the onions over medium heat and add the reserved onion paste. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomato mixture, coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala, and mix well.
  • Sauté until the oil begins to separate. This can take up to 10 minutes.
  • Add the lamb pieces to the mixture and stir to fully coat. Sauté until the lamb is well browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup of hot water to the pan and stir to mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the pan. Cook until the lamb is tender. You will need to keep checking on the lamb as it cooks and adding more water if all the water dries up. Stir often to prevent burning. The dish should have a fairly thick gravy when done. Season with salt to taste. This should take roughly 45 minutes.
  • When the lamb is cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with naan or hot steamed rice.

LAMB AND VEGETABLE CURRY



Lamb and Vegetable Curry image

This is based on a recipe from taste.com.au with some modifications from us. It was very mild even my DM curry hater enjoyed this so would consider adding some Madras curry powder to oomph it up a bit, you could also use Korma curry paste. I cut my onions chunky so that the DH can easily pick them out as he has an intolerance to them if he ingests them, so you could finely dice/slice if you prefer. I haven't allowed for deboning and cutting up a leg of lamb - it took me an hour.

Time 2h50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil
1500 g lamb (I boned and cut up a 2k leg in 2.5cm pieces)
2 onions (cut chunky)
210 g curry paste (Rogan Josh)
2 (400 g) tomatoes (I used whole peel and roughly chopped)
1 1/2 cups beef stock (salt reduced or water)
500 g sweet potatoes (cut into 2cm pieces)
500 g potatoes (I used Carisma low gi cut into 2cm pieces)
2 cups silver beet (or spinach shredded)
12 pappadams (mini to serve)
cooked rice (to serve)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160C fan forced 180C regular.
  • Heat half the oil in a large casserole dish that you can used on the stove top and put in the oven, on medium high heat and cook your lamb in batches (I did 3 batches) and add some more oil if needed, set each batch to one side.
  • Add some more oil if required and cook off onion till soft and then remove and set to one side.
  • Add a couple of tablespoons of the curry paste to the pot and then add your potatoes and stir to coat the potatoes with the paste till fragrant and then remove.
  • Put in the rest of your curry paste and then fry off till fragrant and then add the lamb back in and stir well and then add the tomatoes with juices and the stock/water and stir to combine and then add the potatoes and onions and stir to combine.
  • Bring back to the boil and then cover with lid and put in the oven and cook for 2 hours stirring occasionally and add any more liquid if needed (I didn't).
  • Just before serving stir in the silver beet.
  • To cook your pappadums - put 4 on a microwave proof rack or plate lines with kitchen paper and cook on high (100% power) for 1 to 2 minutes (I have a 900watt microwave and mine took 1 minute 30 seconds) until they expand and crispy and then repeat till all pappadums are cooked and serve with the lamb and some rice.
  • Freeze left overs in containers for another time.

WEST INDIAN LAMB CURRY



West Indian Lamb Curry image

Curried goat is a popular dish in the West Indies, but lamb makes a fine substitute here in the United States, where goat meat is hard to find. This version, by the chef Martin Maginley from the Round Hill resort in Jamaica, is deeply flavored with allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers, but not overwhelming spicy. If you have time to make it the day before, it gets better as it sits, and gives you a chance to scoop some of the fat off the top of the stew before reheating over a low flame. And if you can procure goat, use it here in place of the lamb.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 pounds boneless lamb (or goat) stew meat, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 large white onion, coarsely chopped
2 scallions, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled if desired and coarsely chopped
4 whole allspice berries
2 thyme sprigs, leaves stripped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 1/2 cups diced potato
1 cup diced carrots
1 to 2 small Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded and chopped
Cooked white rice or coconut rice, for serving (see note)
Lime wedges, for serving
Mango chutney or mango pickle, for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality lamb for the best flavor. Look for lamb that is bright red in color and has a fine-grained texture.
  • If you don't have garam masala on hand, you can make your own by combining equal parts ground cumin, coriander, cardamom, black pepper, and cloves.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to taste. If you like a spicier curry, add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder curry, use less.
  • Serve the curry with basmati rice, naan bread, or roti.
  • Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro or mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This Indian lamb and vegetable curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The curry sauce is rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of spices. Serve this curry with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
