Method

    1. First cook the curry: Heat oil in a pan and fry the onions.
    2. Add the ginger and garlic paste. Cook for about 2 – 3 minutes and add the cinnamon, cloves and cardamom.
    3. Lightly brown onions.
    4. Add the chopped tomatoes, cook until soft.
    5. Add the lamb. Cook for 4 – 5 minutes and then add all the dry spices, curry powder, turmeric, red chilli and salt. Mix and cook for another 2 – 3 minutes. Add the water.
    6. Cover and simmer until lamb is soft and cooked.
    7. Keep checking the water level. If evaporated and the lamb is not cooked add a little more. The gravy should turn thick by then.
    8. Once the lamb is cooked, add the potatoes and green peas, simmer for another 3-4 min.
    9. Garnish with the coriander and serve with the coconut rice.
    10. Make the rice while the lamb is simmering: Heat the oil in saucepan. Add the cinnamon quills and cardamom pods. Cook for 1 minute – make sure the oil is not too hot.
    11. Add the water, coconut milk and salt. Boil for 3 – 4 minutes.
    12. Add rice and cook until done.
    13. Lightly brown desiccated coconut in a separate frying pan, making sure it does not burn.
    14. Once the rice is cooked, mix with the coconut and serve.
