Ingredients:
– 1 kg lamb, cut into medium-sized pieces (preferably bone-in)
– 3 tbsp ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil
– 2 onions, finely sliced
– 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
– 2 tbsp Nihari masala (readily available at Indian spice stores)
– 1 tsp turmeric powder
– 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
– 1 tsp coriander powder
– 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
– 1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
– 1/4 tsp mace (javitri) powder
– Salt to taste
– 4 cups water
– Fresh ginger, julienned, for garnish
– Fresh coriander leaves, chopped, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving
– Naan or roti, for serving
Instructions:
1. Heat ghee or oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pressure cooker over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
2. Add ginger-garlic paste to the pot and cook for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
3. Now, add the lamb pieces to the pot and sauté until they are lightly browned on all sides.
4. In a small bowl, mix Nihari masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, fennel seeds, nutmeg powder, mace powder, and salt. Add this spice mixture to the pot and cook for a minute to coat the lamb evenly.
5. Pour water into the pot, ensuring that the lamb is completely submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for 3-4 hours on the stovetop or 1-2 hours in a pressure cooker until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.
6. Once the lamb is cooked, you can increase the heat to medium and cook uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes to thicken the gravy, if desired. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Serve the Lamb Nihari hot, garnished with fresh ginger juliennes and chopped coriander leaves. Accompany it with naan or roti and lime wedges on the side for a complete experience.
