Method

Lamb Masala Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute.

  2. 2

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in the lamb masala spice mix, followed by the pureed tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Add Lamb and Yogurt

    Add the lamb chunks to the pot, mix well, then add the yogurt and salt to taste. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and add water if needed.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once cooked, garnish with fresh coriander.

Jeera Rice Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Rice

    In a pot, heat a small amount of oil and add cumin seeds. Once they start to sputter, add the rinsed basmati rice and stir for a minute.

  2. 7

    Cook the Rice

    Add water and salt, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Fried Onion Flakes Preparation

  1. 8

    Fry the Onions

    Heat oil in a pan and fry the sliced onions until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Raita Preparation
