Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lamb shoulder, diced
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 unit Cinnamon stick
- 400 ml Canned coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Almond meal
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced lamb shoulder and brown it on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining coconut oil and the finely chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and the cinnamon stick. Stir for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
Return the browned lamb to the pot, mixing it with the spices.
Add the tomato paste, coconut milk, and almond meal to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally and add a little water if it gets too thick.
Once the lamb is tender, adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot with rice or dairy-free naan.
