Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
- Mix curry paste, coconut milk and stock in a 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13" baking dish, preferably glass or ceramic (Note 5). Add onion, potato, star anise, cinnamon and lamb.
- Turn shanks to coat in sauce, then cover with foil.
- Bake in oven for 2 hours. Remove foil, bake for a further 1 hour (small shanks) or 1.5 hrs (medium to large shanks), turning lamb twice to brown evenly, until meat is so tender it can easily be teased apart with 2 forks.
- Remove lamb onto plate. Carefully skim off excess fat off the surface (tilt dish, it's easier) - I get about 1/3 cup. Mix sauce in baking dish - it should be reduced down to a syrupy thickness (Note 6).
- Serve lamb with sauce over jasmine rice, garnished with chilli and coriander. For a larger banquet, put the curry out on a platter to share!

Steps:
- Tip the yogurt, cumin, turmeric, 1 tsp sea salt and the lamb shanks into a large mixing bowl, then mix to coat the lamb. Cover and pop in the fridge for a couple of hrs, or overnight if you have time.
- Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat, add the shanks and brown all over for 10 mins, then remove from the dish. Scatter the onions into the dish and fry for 10 mins until golden brown. Stir in the curry powder, garlic and ginger and cook for 3 mins until aromatic. Add the lamb shanks back to the dish along with the tomatoes, chillies, curry leaves, cardamom pods and lime pickle. Give everything a good stir and pour over the stock. Bring up to a simmer, cover, then transfer to the oven and cook for 3 hrs.
- Remove the lid and cook for 1 hr more - this will help reduce some of the liquid and char any exposed meat. When the lamb is very tender, leave to rest for 30 mins or leave to cool completely and reheat the next day for the best flavour. Can be made up to two days in advance. Scatter with chopped mint and serve with naan bread and rice on the side.

INDIAN LAMB CURRY WITH BASMATI RICE
This wonderfully spiced dish is halfway completed before you start cooking. I've slowly begun to realize that my most successful lamb dishes were made from what was left over from a meal of lamb shanks. When braising season began, I cooked two sizable lamb shanks and, of course, enjoyed them. But I really got into it over the following couple of nights, when I wound up using them to create marvelous meals.

- Sear the lamb shanks: Searing the lamb shanks before braising them adds depth of flavor and color to the dish. Make sure to sear the shanks in a hot skillet until they are browned on all sides.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the lamb shanks their flavor, so it's important to use a flavorful liquid. This recipe uses a combination of red wine, chicken broth, and spices.
- Braise the lamb shanks low and slow: Braising is a low and slow cooking method that allows the lamb shanks to become tender and fall off the bone. Cook the shanks for at least 2 hours, or until they are fall-apart tender.
- Add vegetables to the braising liquid: Adding vegetables to the braising liquid adds flavor and nutrition to the dish. This recipe uses carrots, onions, and celery.
- Serve the lamb shanks with mashed potatoes: Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish for lamb shanks. They are creamy and comforting, and they soak up the delicious braising liquid.
