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.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili pepper than the recipe called for.

The basmati rice was the perfect accompaniment to the lamb curry. It was fluffy and flavorful, and it soaked up the sauce perfectly.

This lamb curry turned out amazing! The flavors were so rich and complex. I especially loved the hint of smokiness from the cumin and garam masala.
