Gorkhali Lamb

Ingredients

• Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Red chili powder (1 teaspoon)
• Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
• Coriander powder (1 tablespoon)
• Cumin powder (1 tablespoon)
• Green chili (1, chopped)
• Tomato (2 medium, chopped)
• Ginger (1 inch, grated)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 large, chopped)
• Lamb (1 kg, cut into cubes)

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions to the pan and cook until they turn a golden brown color.
3. Next, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté these ingredients for about a minute until they release their aroma.
4. Add the lamb cubes to the pan and cook until they are browned on all sides. This seals in the juices and ensures the lamb is flavorful.
5. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and start to break down, forming a rich base for the sauce.
6. Stir in the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the lamb with the spices, ensuring every piece is well seasoned.
7. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let the lamb cook for about 45 minutes, or until it's tender and the flavors have melded together.
8. Before serving, garnish the dish with the chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve the Gorkhali Lamb hot with rice or naan bread.
