Lamb curry

Somehow i stick to same method in cooking non-veg curries but this time i did little bit variation by adding yogurt and the result is a thick gravy curry perfect to go with biriyani(pulav rice).

Lamb curry

1/3 cup unsweetened yogurt
1 big onion finely chopped
2 tbsp garam masala
2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
4 tbsp tomato paste or 1 medium tomato puree
2 cups water
4 chillies
salt and red chilli powder according to your taste
finely chopped coriander leaves

Preparation:

In a bowl mix yogurt,garam masala,ginger garlic paste,salt and chilli powder. Heat oil in a cooker pan and fry the onions till golden brown. Add the meat and yogurt mixture and fry for sometime. Add chillies and tomato paste. Now add water,close the lid and pressure cook for about 4 whistles. Remove the lid and cook until the sauce thickens. Add coriander(i didn't added here). Goes well with rice or roti.

Junnu

Junnu is a telugu word for a sweet which is prepared from first day milk of cattle usually cow or buffalo (Pl. Let me know what is the word for junnu in english and hindi). This is my favourite sweet which i think iam missing here, but a good friend of mine prepared this and to my surprise it is not from lactating milk. The taste and texture looks exactly the same as junnu that it almost satisfies our craving. I thought to share this with my entry to JFI-milk hosted by Vineela.
