Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Start by marinating the lamb with salt, ginger-garlic paste, and Lamb Chettinad masala. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are golden brown.

  3. 3

    Adding Lamb

    Add the marinated lamb to the pot and cook until it is browned on all sides.

  4. 4

    Tomato and Coconut

    Stir in the pureed tomato and grated coconut, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Simmering

    Add water and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour or until the lamb is tender.

  6. 6

    Final Touch

    Once the lamb is cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust salt to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes.
