Ingredients
1 kg lamb/mutton pieces
2 large tomatoes grated
1 tsp dhania aka coriander leaves to garnish
Handful of finely chopped dhania aka coriander leaves
5 tbsp. oil
3 whole elachie aka cardamom, 1 cinnamon stick
3 cloves , 2 sprig curry leaves
1 tsp cumin / jeera seeds, 2 onions – sliced
3 table spoon Kashmiri masala, ½ teaspoon garum masala
4 potatoes – cut in half
Method:
Heat Oil to a medium heat and fry Onions until golden brown. (10-15 minutes at least and don’t crisp as this thickens the gravy
This is where I add the finely chopped dhania aka coriander leaves
Add 4 Tablespoons of Kashmiri masala, and fresh Ginger and Garlic. Stir for 10 seconds. (if you have used less oil, or the mix is a bit thick – add some water) This will avoid burning your spices or sticking to the bottom of the pot
I marinate the potatoes in salt, Kashmiri masala and tumeric and then microwave on the automatic setting or 10 minutes
Add Mutton or Lamb and mix well. Allow Meat and spices to fry for a few minutes on a low heat stirring occasionally without burning
Add Tomatoes and cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally until the tomato thickness has disappeared (looks more like gravy at this point) and you start to see the oil separate from the sauce. Add salt to taste
Add water, to cover your meat, and cook on medium heat until Meat has softened. You can add more water as desired and cook further. Stir the curry by gently shaking the pot
