Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by cubing the lamb leg into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onions, puree the tomatoes, and mince the garlic. Grate the ginger and set all ingredients aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, stirring occasionally.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Once the onions are golden, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 4

    Add the Spices

    Stir in the cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are well combined and fragrant.

  4. 5

    Add Lamb

    Add the cubed lamb to the pot, stirring well to coat the meat with the spice and onion mixture. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the lamb is browned on all sides.

  5. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Water

    Pour in the pureed tomatoes and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients and bring to a gentle simmer.

  6. 7

    Simmer the Dish

    Cover the pot and let the lamb cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours on low heat, stirring occasionally. The lamb should be tender and the sauce thickened.

  7. 8

    Finish with Garam Masala

    Once the lamb is tender, stir in the garam masala and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.

  8. 9

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot with rice or naan, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
