Tender, flavoursome, succulent!
If these words don't get you drooling, then I got a special treat for you
from the streets of Kerala.
Let's prepare Kerala Style Chilli Lamb.
The chilli lamb, first, I'm going to take the lamb which is boneless.
It is the shoulder part of lamb which is tender and flavourful.
First, I'm going to add Ginger-Garlic paste.
Turmeric Powder.
Salt
and last, some Lime juice.
Mix it nicely.
Lamb is a tough and strong flavour meat.
It needs to be properly marinated and properly cooked to get its unique flavour.
Mix it nicely and then let it rest for at least five minutes.
The lamb has rested for 5 minutes, I'm going to take a cooker
Switch on the gas, add oil.
Next, I'm going to add the marinated lamb.
I'm going to put some water in the marination bowl
and pour the water into the cooker.
I'm going to sauté the lamb for at least 2-3 mins
or at least till the time it starts getting brown.
I sautéd the lamb for a few mins, now I'm going to close the cooker with a lid
and let it cook for at least 5-6 whistles.
By the time the lamb is getting ready, let's start making the masala.
Add Coconut oil.
Once the oil starts heating up, I'm going to add whole spices.
First, Green Cardamom.
Black Peppercorn.
Few pieces of Cinnamon Stick.
Cumin seeds
and next, I'm going to add Curry Leaves.
Once the curry leaves start cracking,
Next, I'm going to add Ginger-Garlic paste.
Sliced Onion
and sauté it till it gets nice golden brown.
As my onion have started to get brown, now I'm going to add chopped Tomato.
With that chopped Red Chilli.
Chopped Green Chillies
and Chilli paste.
Sauté it nicely.
For this lamb recipe, I've added 3 type of chillies
all cooked together will give a unique Keralite flavour to the dish.
As my tomatoes start getting mushy, I'm going to add the masala,
First, I'm going to add Red Chilli Powder.
Coriander Powder.
Roasted Fennel Seed Powder.
Garam Masala.
Cumin Powder.
Black Pepper Powder
and last, some Salt.
Go a little easy with the salt because there is already salt in the mutton.
Mix the masala
and cook till the tomato gets nice and mushy.
That was the final whistle of the lamb which means the lamb is ready.
And also my masala is ready. I'm going to take the lamb from the cooker.
Transfer it to the masala and sauté it for at least a few mins.
So, guys our lamb is ready. Let's start plating.
I've already organized a nice salad with that I'm going to place my lamb.
Garnish it with fresh Coriander
