Lamb madras
Method
2. For the green chilli and ginger paste: put the green chilli, ginger and water in a food processor and blend to a coarse paste. Set aside.
3. For the lamb: put the lamb in a large bowl and rub with the madras curry powder. Add the salt and set aside.
4. Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok until hot. Add the mustard seeds, let them pop for a few seconds and then stir in the curry leaves and onions. Soften the onions for a few minutes before adding the green chilli and ginger paste along with the finely chopped garlic.
5. Keep stirring as this paste has a tendency to catch on the bottom of the pan. After a few minutes, once you get the aroma of toasted spice, add the tomatoes, tamarind, red chilli and water. Bring to the boil and then add the lamb and any accumulated juices to the pan. Cover and simmer for 1 hour until the masala has thickened and the lamb is tender.
6. Serve with steamed rice.
