I've tweaked this curry over the years using a blend of aromatic spices. Fenugreek seeds can be found in specialty spice stores and are common in Middle Eastern curries and chutneys, but you can leave them out of this recipe if you desire. -Janis Kracht, Windsor, New York

Tips:

  • To make the most tender Goan lamb curry, choose a cut of lamb that is well-marbled, such as shoulder or leg.

  • If you can't find lamb, you can use mutton instead. However, mutton will have a stronger flavor than lamb.

  • Be sure to trim all the fat from the lamb before cooking it. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the curry.

  • Use a good quality coconut milk for the best flavor. You can use either canned or fresh coconut milk.

  • If you don't have any tamarind paste, you can use lemon juice instead. However, the tamarind paste will give the curry a more authentic flavor.

  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to your taste. If you like your curry spicy, add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder curry, use less chili powder.

  • Serve the Goan lamb curry with steamed rice, naan, or roti.

Conclusion:

This spicy Goan lamb curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. Serve it with steamed rice or naan, and you'll have a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
