INDIAN LAMB CURRY WITH BASMATI RICE



Indian Lamb Curry With Basmati Rice image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons garam masala, divided, recipe follows
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon toasted, ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon toasted, ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds lamb leg sirloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 medium serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk
Fresh mint or cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons cardamom seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
20 cloves
1 dried arbol chile stemmed, seeded and crumbled
1 (2 1/2-inch) cinnamon stick, broken in 1/2
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Special Equipment: Chimney starter, newspaper, vegetable oil, 4 pounds natural lump charcoal, and metal skewers
  • Combine 1 tablespoon of the garam masala, 1 teaspoon of the salt, cumin, coriander, and pepper in a 1-gallon resealable bag. Seal and shake the bag to combine. Add the lamb and shake to coat. Add the yogurt to the bag, seal and squish to coat. Refrigerate the bag in a leak proof container for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Spritz 4 to 5 pieces of newspaper with vegetable oil and put in the bottom of a charcoal chimney starter. Fill the chimney with half of the charcoal and light the newspaper.
  • When the charcoal is lightly covered with gray ash, carefully pour it onto the bottom grate of a kettle grill and spread evenly. Top with the remaining unlit charcoal, spreading evenly so as not to suffocate the lit charcoal. Set the second grate in the kettle and cover until ready to cook.
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch straight sided saute pan over medium-high, until it shimmers and almost begins to smoke. Add the onion and remaining teaspoon of salt, and cook until the onion is browned around the edges, 11 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, ginger and chile. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onions have softened and browned completely, approximately 7 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of garam masala and stir several times to coat.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have reduced slightly and deepened in color, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lamb from the yogurt mixture, leaving as much yogurt on the meat as possible. Thread the pieces of lamb, 1/4-inch apart, onto the skewers. Grill until the yogurt has slightly charred or blackened, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the lamb from the skewers. Add the lamb and coconut milk to the tomato mixture and stir to combine and heat through. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with mint or cilantro and serve over basmati rice.
  • Combine all of the seeds, peppercorns, cloves, chile, and cinnamon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, moving the pan constantly, until you smell the cumin toasting, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture to a plate and spread out to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Once cool, add the toasted mixture and nutmeg into a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder is formed, approximately 1 minute. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

2 medium red onions, finely minced
¼ cup ghee, clarified butter
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon ground fenugreek
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 cups shredded carrot
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger

2 cups basmati rice
3 cups water
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • To make the Berbere Braised Lamb, heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until oil is lightly shimmering. Add the lamb to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides, for about 10 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot.
  • To the same pot, add the red onions and cook until brown, for about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the ghee, garlic, ginger, paprika, cayenne, fenugreek, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, and tomato paste.
  • Pour in the beef stock, stirring well to incorporate. Bring the sauce to a boil and return the lamb to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, so the sauce is at a gentle simmer, and cover and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the lamb is tender.
  • To make the Jeweled Vegetable Pilau, use a separate large, shallow pot, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook until soft and slightly caramelized, for about 20 minutes.
  • Add the cabbage, carrots, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until vegetables have softened and cooked down.
  • Season with salt, pepper, ground cumin, curry powder, and cardamom.
  • Stir in the rice and add the water. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is slightly fluffy.
  • Discard the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Stir the rice well before transferring to a large serving platter.
  • Create a small well in the middle of the rice, and spoon the lamb over the top.
  • Serve garnished with scallions, cashews, and pomegranate seeds.
  • Enjoy!

2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 lamb shoulder chops (each 6 to 7 ounces and 3/4 inches thick)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine garam masala, salt, and pepper.

Turn chops over; repeat with remaining spice mixture.
