INDIAN LAMB RECIPES - HOW TO MAKE KASHMIRI LAMB CUTLETS

Steps:

• Remove the meat from the bone and pound it with a meat mallet into flat steaks. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
• Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the cinnamon, cardamom seeds, cloves, ginger, onion, pepper and the cumin and coriander powder. Bring to a boil.
• Place the meat in the milk mixture and simmer for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, remove the meat from the milk and pat dry with paper towels.
• Now mix the batter ingredients together. Add a teaspoon of tandoori paste or Kashmiri paste for more colour and flavour. The batter should be quite thick, like double cream so that it clings to the cutlets.
• Bring your oil to a boil in a large sauce pan or deep fryer. Your oil is ready when a little batter sizzles immediately when dropped in the oil. Be careful as the oil can splatter. Dip your lamb pieces into the batter and slowly ease each piece into the hot oil.
• Deep fry until nicely browned and place on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Serve sprinkled with a little flaky salt and your favourite raitas and/or chutneys.

KASHMIRI LAMB

Steps:

• Place red chiles, green chiles, cumin seeds, garam masala, ginger, garlic, grated coconut, and tomatoes into a blender; pulse several times to chop, then blend into a smooth paste.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Stir the spice paste into the onion and cook and stir until the oil separates from the mixture, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in lamb pieces and salt. Cook, stirring frequently over medium-high heat, until the lamb pieces are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Mix in yogurt, saffron, and blanched almonds until well combined.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender and the gravy is thick, about 1 hour.
• Garnish the curry with chopped cilantro before serving.

KASHMIRI-STYLE RICH LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large pan, about 25 centimetres (10 inches) in diameter, and set it over a medium-high heat. Tip in the onions. Stir and fry for 15 minutes, until brown. Add the garlic and fry for one minute more. Splash in a tablespoon of hot water and stir it in. Let it disappear. Stir in the cassia leaves, cardamom pods, cassia bark and cumin seeds. Add the ginger and stir and fry for 30 seconds, then tip in the tomatoes. Mix in 3 tablespoons of hot water, cover and cook for four minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle in the chilli and combine, then add the basaar mix and salt, with a tablespoon of hot water. Stir and fry for five minutes. As you do so, the oil will begin to separate from the paste. Now add half the coriander and mix well for one minute. Drop the meat into the pan and brown well all over for 10 minutes. Pour in 750ml (1½ pints) of hot water, cover and simmer over a low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally. Add the garam masala, mix well, replace the lid and keep cooking gently for 10 minutes. Fold in the remaining coriander before serving.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground fennel, ginger, and sugar, and continue to cook, adding a tablespoon of water every time the meat sticks to the bottom of the pan, 10 to 15 minutes.4. Add the water, cover the pan, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, the sauce is thick and almost clinging to the pieces, and all the oil has separated to the sides, about 20 minutes. (If the meat is not tender, add about 1/2 cup more water, cover the pan, and simmer on low heat until soft.) Meanwhile, prepare the garam masala. Then spoon out all excess oil from the pan, transfer the meat and curry to a serving dish, garnish with the garam masala, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
