- Preparation: Finely chop the onions and potatoes into small cubes. Thereafter, chop the tomato and garlic cloves. Wash and chop the Lamb shoulders into bite-sized cubes.
- Sauté the onions and garlic: Add oil to the pot. Add the chopped onions to a pot. Set the temperature to medium-low heat. Allow for the onions to lightly caramelize and then add the garlic at the end of the process and lightly brown, the garlic will brown faster, that is why it is added when the onions are almost caramelized.. Remove the onions and garlic from the pot.
- Simmer the Lamb: Add the lamb meat and approximately 1/2 cup of water with ginger and garlic paste. Let it simmer for eight to ten minutes. The ginger and garlic paste will remove any gamy flavours of the lamb.
- Add the Spices: Add the spices and onions and mix well. Add the tomato paste and grated tomato. Mix and add three cups of water with the cube potatoes. Simmer on low heat for sixty minutes. Stir every eight minutes during the cooking process to ensure that the lamb and potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pot. After the lamb curry is cooked, serve after five minutes with rice.
