A traditional Parsi dish of meat, dal and veggies, garnished with almonds.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- ½ tsp black mustard seeds
- 4 cardamom pods, seeds only
- 1 tsp crushed dried chillies
- 400g lean leg of lamb, cut into 2.5cm cubes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 red capsicum peppers, deseeded and cut into 2cm chunks
- 1 brinjal, cut into 2cm chunks
- 100g red split lentils
- 400ml lamb or vegetable stock
- 1 cinnamon stick
- TO GARNISH 25g toasted flaked almonds
Instructions
- Place the cumin, coriander, fennel, mustard and cardamom in a mortar and crush with a pestle. Add the chillies. Place the lamb in a bowl, add the spices and toss to coat evenly. Cover and chill for about 2 hours, or overnight.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion, peppers and brinjal for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften.
- Add the spiced lamb and lentils, then stir in the stock and cinnamon. Bring to the boil, then stir, reduce the heat and cover. Simmer gently for 30–35 minutes until the meat is tender. Serve scattered with toasted almonds.
Notes
Curries improve in flavour if made ahead, allowing time for the flavours to mingle. Chill, then reheat gently until thoroughly heated through.
