~Mutton (Goat/Lamb) Curry - North Indian Style~

I have enjoyed this dish time and time again at my friend's house and finally got the recipe from her dad, Uncle Manohar. The next day I was hunting for goat meat at the local grocery store, totally unaware that grocery stores don't really sell goat meat but that the lamb they do sell is a nice substitution! Here is some lamb curry :)

Ingredients

• Olive oil - 1 tbsp ~ or less
• Onion - 1/2 of one ~ finely cubed
• Ginger Garlic paste - 1.5 tsp
• Tomatoes - 1 small ~ chopped fine cubes
• Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
• Red chilli powder - 1 tsp ~ to taste
• Garam Masala - 1 tsp
• Meat (mutton) masala - 1 tbsp
• Salt - to taste
• Water - 1/2 -1 cup
• Meat - 2 lbs or so

Method
1. Heat oil and then brown onions. Add ginger garlic paste and cook for at least 8 mins.
2. Add tomatoes and again cook for another 5-8 mins.
3. Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, meat masala and cook for another 6-8 mins.
4. Place goat meat in pan, then add salt and fry up for 4-5 mins.
5. Pour in the water (more water for more gravy but meat will also add to the gravy), simmer for about 15-20 mins with lid on. Stir in between.
6. After meat has fully cooked, simmer covered, and turn off stove.
