Ingredients
:
900g/2lbs boned leg of
lamb (subsitute with chicken leg as you wish)
2.Scml1-inch cube root ginger,
coarsely chopped
4-6 cloves garlic, coarsely
chopped
2 fresh green chillies, seeded and
coarsely chopped
4 tbsps natural
yogurt
60912oz ghee or unsalted
butter
3 medium-sized onions, finely
sliced
½ tsp ground
turmeric
1 tsp ground
cumin
2 tsps ground
coriander
½ tsp ground
nutmeg
¼ - ½ tsp chilli
powder
200ml/ 1/3 pint warm
water
1 ¼ tsps salt or to
taste
150ml/5 fl oz single
cream
30g/1oz ground
almonds
1 tsp garam masala or ground mixed
spice
2 tbsps
rosewater
½ tsp
paprika
Beat the meat with a meat mallet to
flatten into 5mml/ ½ inch thickness, then cut into thin slices
(about 3.75 cm/ 1 ½-inch long and 1.2Scm/ ½-inch wide).
Put the ginger, garlic, green chillies
and yogurt into a liquidizer and blend until smooth. Melt the
ghee or butter over medium heat and fry the onions for 6-8
minutes until they are lightly browned. Add the turmeric,
cumin, coriander, nutmeg and chilli powder; adjust heat to
low, stir and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the meat and fry it
over high heat for 3-4 minutes or until it changes colour. Add
about 2 tbsps of the liquidized ingredients and cook for 1-2
minutes, stirring frequently.
Repeat this process until all the
yogurt mixture is used up. Fry the meat over medium heat for
4-5 minutes stirring frequently. When the fat begins to seep
through the thick spice paste and floats on the surface, add
the water, bring to the boil, cover the pan and simmer for
about 60 minutes until the meat is tender, stirring
occasionally. Add the salt, cream and ground almonds and let
it simmer without the lid for 5-6 minutes. Stir in the garam
masala and rosewater and remove from heat. Put the pasanda
into a serving dish and sprinkle the paprika on
top.
