Karahi Lamb

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.

Alternative Uses

This is a versatile blend and be very easily used as dry rub when massaged into a whole shoulder of lamb with a little olive oil. Cover and bake in a medium to low oven for 4-5 hours for a delicious lamb kleftiko style roast.
