Another RadioGuy Recipe: Curried Lamb

For years, I've loved Indian food, particularly curry. The difficult thing for me is that quick curry recipes are hard to find on the Internet. Lamb is an Indian dietary mainstay, as is curry, so I've combined these into a (somewhat) quick meal that I call...


Radioguy's Curried Lamb with Basmati Rice


For the Curried Lamb
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoon curry powder
  • 2 tbls. vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ large onion
  • 1 pound lean lamb, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 can diced tomatoes

Directions
  • Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the vinegar, curry powder, and stir for a minute or so.
  • Add the garlic, onion, and lamb.
  • Saute, stirring frequently, for 7 minutes or so; or until the lamb is done through.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

For the Basmati Rice
  • 1 cup Basmati Rice
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ½ large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
Directions
  • Cook rice in a rice steamer (steaming directions will vary), but substitute broth for water, and add onion and pepper while cooking.
Authentic Indian cooking is rare in my corner of the globe (we have one Indian restaurant in these parts, and while the food is excellent, the prices are not). If anyone has any Indian recipies to share, please share them!
