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.

This lamb curry was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
