Lamb With Peas And Tomatoes Recipes

LAMB CURRY WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the lamb in a single layer and brown, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pot along with the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove. Cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
• Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and any juices from the plate. Stir in 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the lamb is almost cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Tuck the potatoes among the lamb pieces, submerging them in the liquid; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer, turning the potatoes occasionally, until the curry is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and heat through.
• Remove the curry from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Thin with water, if necessary; season with salt. Serve with rice and top with mint.
