Ingredients

Lamb Kadai Ingredients

Preparation

Lamb Kadai Directions

1. Marinate the Lamb

In a bowl, combine the cubed lamb, yogurt, ginger, garlic, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well so that the lamb is coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the Base

In a kadai or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.

3. Sauté Onions

Add the finely chopped onions to the kadai and sauté until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

4. Add Tomato Purée

Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

5. Incorporate Spices

Add coriander powder, garam masala, and more salt if needed. Stir well to mix all the spices into the tomato-onion base.

6. Cook the Lamb

Add the marinated lamb along with the marinade into the kadai. Stir well to coat the lamb with the spice mixture. Cover and let it cook on low-medium heat for about 30-40 minutes or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.

7. Garnish and Serve

Once the lamb is cooked, check for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh coriander, and serve hot with rice or naan.
