Recipe Summary Lamb Madras Curry
This is my all-time favorite curry to make; it's pungent flavor wins me over every time. You can use beef if you like, but it often takes a little longer to cook, so just leave it simmering for another 20 minutes or until the meat melts in your mouth. I also suggest that you make this 2 days in advance as the flavors will develop and the curry will become even more delicious!Ingredients | Tomato Soup Recipe In Tamil Madras Samayal1 ½ tablespoons coriander seeds1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds½ teaspoon salt5 whole dried red chile peppers6 fresh curry leaves3 tablespoons garlic paste2 teaspoons ginger paste1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric2 ¼ pounds lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes½ cup ghee (clarified butter), melted¼ cup vegetable oil4 onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk2 cups water, divided1 teaspoon fennel seeds6 cardamom pods1 cinnamon stick1 ½ teaspoons garam masala1 teaspoon sugar3 tablespoons warm water1 tablespoon tamarind pasteDirectionsToast the coriander seeds over medium-low heat until they begin to turn brown and pop.

Add the salt and grind to a fine powder. Mix with the garlic and ginger to form a thick paste.Sprinkle the turmeric over the lamb, stirring lightly to coat. Toast the fennel seeds as above and set aside. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat with the ghee and vegetable oil; cook the onions until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in your curry paste and fry for 1 minute. Stir in the meat and fry for 1 minute more. Pour in 2/3 of the can of coconut milk and 1 cup of water; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
