CARDAMOM LAMB CURRY WITH ALMONDS

Preparation Method :

• Curry Paste Pound the garlic with the chillis, onion, and salt with a mortar and pestle. Mix in the cardamom and water to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
• Lamb Curry Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick and stir for 10 seconds to release their flavour. Add the curry paste and sauté for 5 minutes.
• Add the lamb and sauté until browned, 10 minutes. Season with salt. Stir in the yogurt and enough water to just cover the meat. Cover the pan.
• Simmer over low heat for 2 hours. Uncover and cook for 15 minutes, until the sauce is well reduced. Pour in the cream.
• Bring to a boil, and season with salt and white pepper. Garnish with cilantro and flaked almonds. Serve hot.
