Basic lamb Curry

"Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results." - James Allen 


Todays recipe is basic lamb curry. I am cooking Mutton than lamb. Both comes under red meat category. This curry was made in a potluck party where only husbands are made to cook the curry. Thanks for vah chef who made the curry and put the video in his site. This made easy for those husbands to choose the curries and make whatever they feel comfortable. It tasted so nice so i thought to write about the recipe in my blog. I made few changes for the curry. There are certain restrictions like I want to have more gravy and my husband does not like to have the whole spices coming in between whenever he is eating so i prefer to use the garam masala which i make whenever i find time. I will also blog them under spice powders sometime. The link for the basic lamb curry is as follows http://vahrehvah.com/popvideo.php?recipe_id=3263
