Heat Rating: Mild
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of Mama Dor’s Karahi Lamb spice blend
500g lamb shoulder, cubed
1 large onion, diced
2 fresh chillies (optional)
2 tablespoons natural yoghurt
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Method
Create a paste using the spice blend, yoghurt and vinegar.
Add the lamb and leave to marinate for at least two hours.
In a large deep frying pan, brown off the onion with chillies (if using) and the olive oil.
Once browned off, add the lamb mixture with about ½ cup of tap water.
Give it a good stir, cover and turn to a low heat.
Cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
The sauce will become thick and the lamb beautifully tender.
Serve with warm naan bread or fluffy basmati rice.
