Balti Gosht

Ingredients:

Lamb meat 1

Onion 1 chopped

Tomatoes 4

Red Bell Pepper ½ diced

Green chilies 4

Coriander leaves chopped 1 tablespoon

Garlic cloves 4 peeled and chopped

Cardamom 6

Cinnamon stick 1

Whole cloves 6

Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Water 1 ½ cup

Cooking oil 4 tablespoon

Direction:

Wash the lamb well, then place it in a lidded saucepan with about 1 ½ cups of water. Add the garlic, salt, and spices to it. Either place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F or on the stove, and cook, covered, until just tender (about 45 minutes). Keep checking from time to time, then remove from heat, and let it stand in its steam with the lid still on, for about 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, heat the oil in large pan; fry the onions until golden brown, then add the red peppers, green chilies, and tomatoes. Cook until it is nearly dry (about 10 minutes on low heat). Then add the drained meat to the pan, with a little of the liquid. Stir-fry until it becomes quite dry. Add in the cumin seeds and the fresh coriander leaves about 5 minutes before it is ready.
