Description

Lamb is simmered in a coconut milk curry sauce with potatoes and chickpeas in this tasty Kashmiri-style recipe. Serve with jasmine rice and mango chutney.

Ingredients

2 1/4 pounds cubed lamb meat
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 brown onion, chopped
1 red potato, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup curry powder
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup drained canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

Directions

1 Place lamb in a bowl and drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil over lamb; stir until coated.
2 Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir onion until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add potato to onion.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir lamb, working in small batches, until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer browned lamb to onion mixture.
4 Stir curry into lamb-onion mixture and cook over medium heat for 1 minute. Add water to lamb-onion mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover saucepan, and simmer until lamb is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
5 Mix coconut milk and chickpeas into lamb-onion mixture and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
