- 1 kg lamb or goat meat, diced
- 2 red onions, finely chopped to allow better browning
- 2 medium tomatoes. These can be fresh or canned “crushed” tomatoes.
- Sliced or crushed ginger or ginger paste (1 tsp)
- 3-5 chopped garlic cloves or 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 2 green chilies – sliced
- 2-3 tbsp plain full fat yogurt
- 1 tsp haldi powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp dhaniya powder
- 1 tsp zeera powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp Shan Korma Masala
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp ghee or cooking oil
- Handful of chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- A few cups of water
Instructions:
- Heat cooking oil and start browning the onions. They should be golden brown.
- Optionally, grind the onions in a mixer once they are golden brown
- Add the ginger, garlic, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala and fry for a minute
- Add the meat and brown it
- Add the green chilies
- Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the spices
- Add the yogurt
- Cover the saucepan and let the meat cook on low heat until it is soft. This may take 1 hr or more. Make sure there is enough water to avoid burning the dish. Let it cook until the meat is tender and the curry should be somewhat thick.
- Serve with green cilantro leaves
