Make with Kashmir Lab

Ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1 small onion, quartered then sliced
2 serrano chile peppers, minced
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Fry the cumin seeds for a few seconds until they turn golden brown and begin to pop. Reduce heat to medium, stir in the onion, and cook until lightly browned.
Try doing this part AFTER adding potatoes to lessen the sticking: (Stir in serrano pepper and ginger, fry for 1 minute. Season with coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne, and garam masala; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.)
Stir in potatoes and salt, cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cauliflower, cover, and cook until the cauliflower steams in it's own juices until it's tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, then pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil around the edges of the pot. Increase heat to medium-high and fry for 3 to 5 minutes to brown, stirring gently to avoid mashing the cauliflower.

Kashmiri Lamb




KASHMIRI LAMB IN CHILE SAUCE (MIRCHI QORMA)

New August 2017

6 dried Kashmiri chiles or pasilla chiles, stemmed
2 small red Thai chiles or 1 red jalapeño, stemmed
2 lb. lamb shoulder, trimmed and cut into 2″ pieces
1 tbsp. black peppercorns
4 green cardamom pods
1 stick cinnamon
1⁄4 cup canola oil
1 tsp. kala jeera (black cumin seeds)
10 cloves garlic, mashed into a paste
2 Indian or regular bay leaves
1⁄4 cup tamarind paste
3 tbsp. dried mint
1 tbsp. red chile powder, such as cayenne
Kosher salt, to taste


Heat a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high. Cook dried chiles until lightly toasted, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add fresh chiles and 1/2 cup water (or less water, 1 cup will splash out and make a mess). Purée until smooth and return to pan. Add lamb, peppercorns, cardamom, cinnamon, and 3 cups water; boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, until lamb is very tender, about 1 hour. Transfer lamb mixture to a bowl.
Wipe pan clean; heat oil over medium-high. Cook cumin seeds, garlic, and bay leaves until seeds pop, 1–2 minutes. Add reserved lamb mixture, the tamarind paste, 1 tbsp. mint, the chile powder, and salt; boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until thickened, about 1 hour (or much more to thicken sauce). Garnish with remaining mint.

Alternative: Use Pasilla chili's (dark dark red almost black) and leave out mint.
