Ingredients

  • 3.5 tbsp ghee (butter can be substituted)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 6 green cardamom pods (lightly bruised)
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (finely grated)
  • 5 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 750g/1.5lb boneless lamb shoulder, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1-½ cups/375ml lamb stock (broth)

Spices

  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • ¾ tsp Alcoeats Red Chili Powder (or to taste)
  • 4 tsp ground coriander, or Alcoeats coriander powder
  • 4 tsp ground cumin, or Alcoeats cumin powder
  • 2 tsp Alcoeats turmeric powder
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp Alcoeats Garam Masala
  • ½ tsp fennel powder

Finishes

  • ½ tsp extra Alcoeats garam masala
  • ½ tsp extra fennel powder

Serving/garnish

  • ½ cup/125g plain yogurt (though Greek yogurt is better)
  • Chopped coriander leaves
  • Finely shredded ginger
  • Yogurt
  • Basmati rice

Cooking Instructions

  • Take a large heavy-based pot. Melt ghee over medium heat in this pot. Add cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon, and cook these for a minute. 
  • Add the finely chopped onions and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion pieces turn golden and start to brown on their edges.
  • Now, add the ginger and garlic, and cook these for yet another minute. 
  • Slowly stir in the spices and cook for about 30-40 seconds. 
  • Pour in the tomato puree and salt. Add the meat stock and mix. 
  • Add the lamb cubes now. Keep stirring regularly and bring the curry to a simmer. 
  • Seal the pot now and adjust the heat to low or medium-low, so it simmers gently. 
  • Cook for around 1 hour and 45 minutes, stirring occasionally till the lamb meat becomes very tender – use forks to check, the meat should come apart quite easily. 
  • Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 15 minutes (to reduce the curry sauce slightly) – the lamb cubes should be very tender by this stage. 
  • Gently stir in the extra garam masala, extra fennel, and yogurt. Cook for a few more minutes.
  • That’s all! Delicious, lip-smacking spicy lamb curry is ready! 
  • Serve with basmati rice, topped with fresh coriander leaves and other garnishes if desired.
