Easy Lamb Curry Recipe​

Ingredients:​

• 1 kg boneless lamb shoulder or leg, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2-3 cardamom pods
• 2-3 cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup coconut milk or plain yogurt
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)
• Cooked rice or naan bread for serving

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Lamb:
   • Trim any excess fat from the lamb pieces and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
   • Heat the vegetable oil or ghee in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Spices:
   • Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the onions and aromatics with the spices. Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
4. Cook Lamb:
   • Add the cubed lamb pieces to the pot, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture.
   • Cook the lamb for about 5-7 minutes until it is browned on all sides.
5. Simmer with Tomatoes:
   • Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.
   • Pour in the coconut milk or yogurt and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
6. Simmer and Serve:
   • Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.
   • Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
   • Once the lamb is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, remove the pot from heat.
   • Garnish the Lamb Curry with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
   • Serve hot with cooked rice or naan bread on the side.

Enjoy your homemade Lamb Curry with friends and family! Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less cayenne pepper. You can also customize the vegetables and spices according to your preferences.
