Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb lamb cut in small cubes (you can use beef)
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 to matoes chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 red chili cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder (I have found that all spice gives almost the same taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 cup boiling water

Instruction

  • In a pan add the oil and when hot add the lamb cubes. Cook until you see brown patches on both sides of the lamb and the water completely evaporates.
  • Add the onion and stir until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the tomatoes, red chili, garlic, and stir until the water from the tomatoes evaporates.
  • Pour 4 cups of boiling water and all the spices, salt, and tomato paste to the lamb. Let the mixture come to a boil. Cover and let cook until the lamb is cooked and you should end up with thick gravy.
  • Serve with Indian bread or with rice.
  • PS: If you have a pressure cooker, pour enough water to almost cover the lamb and cook after the first whistle on medium low heat for 20 minutes.
