Fall is upon us! When it’s cold, make this spicy flavorful lamb curry :)! Darling & delicious!
I made this the last Sunday for my friend Jothi who came to Montreal. She likes anything other than vegetarian much 😉 so wanted to make something for her. She really liked it 🙂 packed her some to take away too 😉 so I think she did like it ;). I cooked meat after a long time and clicked pictures also. If I know that my recipe is new and hot, I make sure I click pictures at least to remember that I made something like this and post it. I will share it if it turns out good.
It’s getting cold here, so just have it with some cooked basmati rice, no one would stop with one bite on this cold weather. This is an enticing hot curry. It’s so relaxing when you have this for a weekend lunch. This lamb recipe is just mind boggling lamb curry. Feel free to cut the chilli powder by half if you can’t take spicy food. And also you can replace the lamb by mutton.
When all the lamb curry is over, take some plain rice mix it in the same pan and have it right away. You can have this with plain rice,rasam/sambar, or roti,naan, paratha, parotta. Taste great with chicken biryani restaurant style or vegetable biryani.
I would say normally Mutton and lamb recipes are a treat to any Non Vegetarian food lover.

I really enjoyed the lamb curry. I ate in two portions because I didn’t want it to get over 😉 The texture, spice level and the way you cooked the lamb was perfect. Thanks a lot for making my favourite dish for me dear 🙂
Thanks sweety 🙂 Hugs!
What a spice mix! I think I will give it a go even though the Hubby is not a fan of lamb. More for me! ☺
🙂 thank u so much 🙂
This looks like a perfect curry for fall! I love that you have suggestions in your notes for different preferences, that makes it so easy to make it the way I want! 🙂
thank you so much 🙂
Hi Suki,
Wont the curd get curdled if we dont bring it to boil before the pressure? Did you constantly stir it?
Can we add curd before adding the mutton, wait for it to boil and then add mutton and then give pressure?
Advice
Thanks
We tried the recipe today and it was fabulous! However, we couldn’t find curry leaves in my area. What do you think is a good substitute?
