Special Lamb Curry

by **shaun** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:20 pm

Spice paste for lamb and curry:
10 garlic
3 chillies
tbsp each of cumin and coriander
bunch of coriander
tsp turmeric
large knob of ginger
Salt & pepper

Blend to a paste. Use half of the paste to rub into the lamb. Cut slashes in the meat for the paste to penetrate.

Roast the lamb on a bed of onions and carrots. Roast sliced sweet potatoes and parsnips as well.

Once the lamb is cooked, use the lamb fat to cook the curry. Pour the rendered fat into a pain, add 3 cardamon pods, 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cloves, and 1 star anise, cook in the lamb fat until swollen.

Add 2-3 sliced onions and cook until brown. Add the reserved spice paste and cook out the rawness of the garlic and spices.

Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, simmer down until thick. Add a large pinch of garam masala, and the chopped meat. Cook for a few minutes. Finish with lemon juice, toasted flaked almonds, coriander, and the roasted sweet potatoes/parsnips.

This looks nice, but it seems like a lot of work. Something I like to do is simply eat frozen vegetables. If you steam them, they actually turn out with quite a nice texture (and they are much easier to eat than when raw). Just put them in the microwave for a few minutes to cook them. You can add garlic, pepper, olive oil, and crushed walnuts to make them really good. It makes a great side dish for almost everything. And the variety of frozen vegetables is enormous! Try frozen vegetables. You won't regret it. Your muscles need good nutrition after all.

It's actually quite easy to prepare and cook. The spice paste doesn't take long to prepare because it can be done in a food processor or blender. Slicing the onions fine will take about 5 minutes and the ingredients are ready to be cooked. Curries are very good for you, you should give it a try.
