Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/4 cup unsalted cashews
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 1 cardamom seed
- 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 saffron thread
- 1/2 cup butter
- 6 tablespoons butter (Yes, a bit more butter for extra richness!)
- 1 onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 pound lamb
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups water
🔪 Let’s Dive into the Culinary Delight:
-
Start by creating the masala – blend cashews, chilies, ginger, and cold water at high speed for 1 minute until smooth. Add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, garlic, poppy seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin. Blend until a luscious mixture forms. Set this aromatic masala aside.
-
Infuse saffron in boiling water, letting it soak for a minimum of 10 minutes, enhancing the dish with its golden hue and unique flavor profile.
-
In a heavy skillet, dance the dance of flavors by heating ghee over moderate heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact. Add onions, stirring until soft and golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.
-
Introduce the salt and the masala to the skillet, then generously spoon in the yogurt. Cook until the ghee lightly films the surface, creating a tantalizing visual prelude to the feast.
-
Enter the star of the show – lamb! Coat the lamb pieces evenly, ensuring they’re embraced by the rich medley of spices. Squeeze saffron into the mix, letting its soaking liquid join the culinary ensemble.
-
Lower the heat, cover tightly, and let the lamb waltz in the aromatic embrace for 20 minutes. Turn the lamb cubes occasionally for an even infusion of flavors.
-
As the grand finale approaches, sprinkle half of the fresh coriander over the lamb, and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, ensuring the lamb achieves the pinnacle of tenderness.
-
To present this culinary masterpiece, transfer the contents to a heated platter, and crown it with a sprinkle of lemon juice and the remaining fresh coriander – a burst of freshness to complement the rich, savory symphony.
