Ingredients
- 1 kg lamb
- 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 4 shallots
- 1 tbsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns
- 4 cloves
- 1 inch cinnamon
- 4 green cardamom
- 2 dried red chillies
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 10 curry leaves

Instructions
- Cut lamb into bite-sized pieces and add ginger garlic paste, sliced shallots, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the marinated lamb into a pressure cooker along with warm water and give it a good stir.
- Put the lid on the pressure cooker, shake it well, and place on the stove. Cook for 3-4 whistles (about 15-20 minutes).
- While the lamb cooks, roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, green cardamom, and dried red chillies on a low flame for about 4 minutes until aromatic and slightly brownish.
- Let the toasted spices cool down, then grind them to a coarse texture.
- In a separate pan, heat coconut oil and add fresh curry leaves and sliced shallots. Stir well.
- Brown the onions on a medium flame for 5-6 minutes to lightly caramelize them and bring out the sweetness.
- Once shallots are caramelized, add ginger and garlic paste and stir well.
- Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and cracked black peppercorns. Stir and cook on a gentle flame for 30-40 seconds.
- Add the cooked lamb from the pressure cooker to the pan and stir well. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground spice mix and give it a thorough mix.
- Season with curry leaves and freshly chopped coriander leaves. Stir and serve hot.
