De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Ensure the pot is hot enough to sear the lamb effectively.
2
Add the lamb shoulder to the hot oil and sear on all sides until browned, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Browning the lamb creates a rich flavor base for the curry.
3
Remove the seared lamb from the pot and set aside.
Ongeveer 1 min
4
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the yellow onion to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: Stir frequently to prevent burning.
5
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and green chili to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Ongeveer 1 uur 40 min
Tip van de kok: Check occasionally and stir to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom. Add a little more water if the curry becomes too dry.
