Talava Ghosht

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lamb (boneless, cut into pieces)
  • 7-8 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp fennel
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • lemon juice (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add your meat, garlic (chopped), salt, and turmeric. Let it sit.

  2. In the meantime, slice your onion into half-circle slices.

  3. If using a pressure cooker, add meat and water to the cooker. Turn the heat to medium, attach the lid and let it cook for about 20 minutes or about 6-8 whistles.

  4. Turn off the heat. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the lid (be careful not to let the steam burn you!).  The water should have evaporated but if there is a little bit left, cook on low heat to let it evaporate out fully.

  5. Sautee your onions in oil in a separate pan. Allow them to brown and caramelize.

  6. On medium high heat add in your meat and then your spices. Allow meat to brown up and get crispy on the edges.

  7. Lastly, taste and add additional salt if necessary. Add a few squeezes of lemon juice and cilantro.
