Spicy Goa-Style Lamb Curry image

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 to 8 dried red chili peppers, such as chile de arbol, broken into pieces
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3 cloves garlic (large), peeled
6 to 8 quarter-size slices peeled fresh ginger
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground mustard seeds
2 teaspoons Garam Masala + 1/2 teaspoon for garnish
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 pounds boneless lamb, all visible fat trimmed, and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons peanut oil
30 to 40 finely chopped fresh curry leaves (optional)
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 to 3 cups water

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the red chili peppers in the vinegar, 1 to 2 hours. Then, in a food processor or a blender, process together the chili peppers plus the vinegar, garlic, ginger, and onion until fine. Mix in the cumin, mustard, 2 teaspoons garam masala, salt, and turmeric, and process, again to make a smooth paste.2. Place the lamb pieces in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the chili-onion-spice paste and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 and up to 24 hours.3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat, add the curry leaves and the lamb, plus all the marinade, and cook, stirring, over high heat the first 3 to 5 minutes and then over medium-low heat until the pieces are well-browned, 10 to 12 minutes.4. Add the tomato sauce and water and cook until the lamb is tender and the sauce thick, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with garam masala, and serve.VARIATION: To mellow the peppery heat and to increase the quantity of the dish, add 2 to 3 peeled and diced potatoes along with the Lamb in Step 3, then proceed with the recipe.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
