Ingredients for the Lamb curry

     

 

Ingredients for margination.

 

  • lamb Chunks I Prefer Grass fed Boneless Chunks of lamb. You could use bone in . The cook time shall go up by 10 minutes .

  • Yogurt– any store bought yogurt works best for marinades.  

  • Ginger garlic you could easily use store bought paste , dry powders work too. I generally prefer to  use fresh garlic and ginger minced in a food processor as it just gives a better result.

  • Onions– I use caramelised onion and quickly mix it with water in a grinder to give a paste. Air fry chopped red or yellow onion, with a little drizzle of oil to get the caramelised effect.

  • Dry SpicesGaram masala , Red chilly powder, salt, turmeric, Coriander and cumin powder .

 

   Instructions for marinating the lamb chunks:

 

  • In a medium sized glass bowl, add the washed and clean  lamb chunks.

  • Next, add the yogurt, caramelised onion paste.

  • Now add the ginger garlic mince, along with the dry spices.

      Ingredients for making the lamb Curry.

 

  • Onions thinly slice red or yellow onions work well

  • Caramelised onions– I caramelise or air fryer onions at home.However there are a lot of store bought varieties that work better too. 

  • Tomato Puree– a can of Roma tomato puree or any crushed

    variety is good enough to give a robust curry its base.

  • Clarified butter /Ghee Oils like any neutral oils work too. Ghee or butter just adds the extra richness to the curry.

  • Ginger garlic –  Minced or paste ginger garlic are a must in most of the Indian curries .

  • Dry spices – Turmeric, Garam masala, red chilly powder, cumin

    and coriander powder ,salt.

  • Whole dry aromatics– Cinnamon stick, cardamom, bayleaf, pepper corns, cloves and cumin seeds.
