Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Lamb

In a bowl, combine the lamb cubes with the freshly ground Malabar black pepper, salt, garlic, and ginger. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Sauté the Onions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.

3

Cook the Lamb

Add the marinated lamb to the pot and brown it on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

4

Add Tomatoes and Coconut Milk

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Then, add the coconut milk and mix well.

5

Simmer the Curry

Add the curry leaves to the pot, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for about 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and add water if necessary to keep it from drying out.

6

Serve

Once the lamb is tender, adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. Serve hot with rice or naan.
