This whole dish was so melt-in-the-mouth and finger-licking good that we didn't need any side dish or accompaniment to the meal. I am also sure that we may have even overeaten if we didn't run out of parathas that day. By the way, this dish tastes just as fabulous with simple steamed rice. If you wish you can use ready made Nihari masala powder available in stores. However, I strongly believe that a freshly made blend will lend so much more aroma and flavor to your dish.
And please don't ask me if you can make this with chicken — it would be, in my opinion, sacrilege!
INGREDIENTS
For the Nihari masala powder:
- 3 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
- 3 long dried red chiles
- 8 black peppercorns
- 3 green cardamom pods
- 1 black cardamom pod
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/2 bay leaf
- 1 blade mace
- 4 cloves
- One 1/2-inch stick cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon roasted Bengali lentils (chana dal)
For the stew:
- 3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 medium-sized onions
- 2 1/4 pounds lamb or goat leg meat
- Salt, to taste
- 4 cups plus 5 tablespoons water
- 2 cups lamb stock
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
- One 1-inch piece ginger, cut into thin strips, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
For the Nihari masala powder:
Toast all of the ingredients in a pan over low heat until fragrant. Let cool and grind it to a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
For the stew:
In a large, heavy bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat and fry the onions until they are well browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
To the same pan, add the lamb and fry over high heat along with half of the Nihari masala powder until the meat becomes nice and brown. Add half of the fried onions, season with salt, to taste, and add 4 cups of the water. Cook until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes.
Add the lamb stock, remaining Nihari masala, and fried onions. In a bowl, make a thick paste of wheat flour with the remaining water (make sure there are no lumps) and add this to the lamb. Continue to simmer until the gravy thickens. Then, add the lemon juice and garnish with the ginger strips and cilantro and serve hot.
