This is one of the traditional dishes from the times of the Moghul emperors. In ancient days they used alkanet root to redden the meat, but in this recipe, I have used tomato and paprika. The flavour is fantastic and I have used an authentic Kashmiri recipe rather than a simplified restaurateur's version. Serve with pulao rice (page 123). Serves: 4

Instructions

Step 1

Mix the lamb and yoghurt, spices 1 and salt. Let stand for 6 hours minimum or overnight.

Step 2

Put onion, ginger, garlic and tomato into blender, and purée.

Step 3

Melt ghee in a pan, and add the onion purée. Put the lamb mixture into a separate pan (without ghee). Cook both for about 20-30 minutes. Salt to taste, and stir the meat occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Combine the two mixtures and cook for a further half hour or so, until the meat is quite tender.

Step 5

Add spices 2, and fresh coriander. Mix well and cook for a further 5 minutes, then serve.

Step 6

If the curry gets too dry at any time, add a little water. Alternatively, after fried meat and purée, they can be put in a casserole dish in the oven preheated to 190°C and baked for 45 minutes. Add spices and cook for a further 10-15 minutes. Add fresh coriander and serve.
