Ingredients

1 kg lamb cubes

2-3 medium sized onions

2-3 tomatoes, chopped

2” piece ginger

6 flakes garlic

1 green chillie

2 carrots, cut lengthwise

1 cup green peas

2 medium potatoes, cubed

1 tsp black pepper powder

1 tsp cinnamon powder

2 bay leaves

4-6 tbsp cooking oil

2 tbsp flour

salt to taste

Directions

In a food processor, chop onions, garlic, ginger and green chillie till minced. Heat oil in a pan and add bay leaves. Add the chopped onion mixture and sauté till golden brown. Add flour and brown well. Add the meat and brown well. Add chopped tomatoes and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Then add 2 cups of water and salt to taste. Stir and reduce heat and let the gravy simmer till the meat is almost tender (adding more water if necessary). Throw in the veggies: potatoes, carrots and green peas (potatoes may take longer to cook, add them first and cook for 10 minutes, then add the other veggies). When the stew has thickened, turn off the heat and sprinkle cinnamon and pepper powder. Stir and check seasoning. Serve hot with some sliced baguette bread.
