Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Main Course

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 lb Lamb (leg or shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 tbsp Oil (Cooking or Olive oil )
1 tbsp Ghee (or oil)
2 tbsp Garlic (4 large garlic cloves minced)
2 tbsp Ginger (3-inch fresh ginger grated)
3 cups Onions (red or brown finely chopped)
1 cup Tomatoes (chopped)
¾ cup Yogurt (Greek, plain)
1 tbsp Lemon juice
½ tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Kosher salt
2 Cinnamon stick
8 Cloves
8 Green cardamoms
2 Black cardamoms
3 Bay leaves
1 Mace ((optional))
2 tbsp Coriander powder
¾ tbsp Cumin powder
¼ tsp Turmeric powder
1 tbsp Cayenne (hot)
1 tbsp Paprika (sweet)
1 tbsp Fenugreek leaves ((optional))
½ tsp Garam masala powder

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom skillet, add the oil, ghee, and whole spices.Pro tip - if possible use a Dutch oven as it retains heat evenly and will cook without losing too much liquid. if not, use a heavy bottom skillet with a tight lid.
  • Then, add onions and saute until caramelized, almost brown - about 10 minutes (see video).Pro tip - depending on the heat it may take 10 to 15 minutes to caramelize the onions. Do not cook on high as it will burn the onions not caramelize.
  • Next, add the ginger and garlic - saute for another minute. Add the lamb pieces, saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the lamb is no longer pink.Pro tip - ginger and garlic can burn easily so keep the heat on medium. Then turn the heat a little higher to sear the lamb on all sides.
  • Then, add the ground spices and chopped tomatoes. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Next, add the yogurt. Combine it then add 1/2 cup water. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.Pro tip - stir the yogurt separately in a small bowl to ensure there are no lumps before you add it to the lamb otherwise you will have lumps in the curry.
  • Continue to simmer it on the stovetop on medium-low heat stirring frequently until meat is cooked through and becomes fork-tender - about 1 to 1 ½ hour adding water if necessary. Pro tip - Always ensure you have enough water so the meat has enough moisture to cook. If necessary add ¼ to ½ cup more.
  • When cooked to fork-tender, taste and adjust seasoning. Adjust gravy by adding a bit more water depending on how you going to serve it.Pro tip - If you serve it with chapati, naan, or roti - keep it thick. If you serve with rice, add a little water to make a gravy.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

WEST INDIAN LAMB CURRY



West Indian Lamb Curry image

Curried goat is a popular dish in the West Indies, but lamb makes a fine substitute here in the United States, where goat meat is hard to find. This version, by the chef Martin Maginley from the Round Hill resort in Jamaica, is deeply flavored with allspice and Scotch bonnet peppers, but not overwhelming spicy. If you have time to make it the day before, it gets better as it sits, and gives you a chance to scoop some of the fat off the top of the stew before reheating over a low flame. And if you can procure goat, use it here in place of the lamb.

Categories     dinner, curries, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 pounds boneless lamb (or goat) stew meat, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 large white onion, coarsely chopped
2 scallions, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled if desired and coarsely chopped
4 whole allspice berries
2 thyme sprigs, leaves stripped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 1/2 cups diced potato
1 cup diced carrots
1 to 2 small Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded and chopped
Cooked white rice or coconut rice, for serving (see note)
Lime wedges, for serving
Mango chutney or mango pickle, for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon curry powder, the salt, the ground ginger and the black pepper. Add spice mix to large bowl and toss with lamb.
  • Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
  • Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
  • Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.
