Rabbit leg cooked in pickling spices
This is the type of dish that would be cooked on a 'shikaar' or a hunting expedition when the Rajput princes would go out hunting with their entourage. It would originally be done using hare but works just as well with rabbit
Serves 4
4-6 Rabbit legs / 2 lb, cleaned and cut in to 2 pieces, or alternatively left whole
1 ? tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp salt
1.5 l water
For sauce
50 ml mustard oil
75 ml ghee or clarified butter
4 whole dried red chillies
1tbsp pickling spice mix (equal quantities of fennel seeds, onion seeds, carom seeds, cumin seeds mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds)
8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 onions /150 g onions, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 inch piece of ginger, cut in to julienne
300g/ 1 1/3 cup yoghurt, whisked
2 tsp chickpea flour
25 g jaggery or molasses
Juice of 1 lemon
Method
Place the rabbit legs in a pan and bring to a boil with water, 1 tsp of salt and turmeric. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from the liquid, drain and reserve the cooking liquid.
In another heavy bottomed pan, heat mustard oil to smoking point, then add ghee and as it melts, add red chillies and let them crackle for a few seconds, now add the pickling spices and as they begin to crackle and change colour, add the garlic. Saut? garlic for a minute or so and as it changes its colour to golden brown, add onions and saut? until they turn light golden in colour. Now add the remaining salt and turmeric powder and the cooked rabbit legs. Add ginger and molasses and stir for a few minutes until legs start to acquire a light brown colour, now add the reserved cooking stock and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl whisk yoghurt with the chickpea flour and mix well. Add the yoghurt mix to the pan slowly with continuous stirring to prevent the yoghurt from getting split. When all the yoghurt has been incorporated simmer for a couple of minutes, check seasoning and finish with a lemon juice. Serve with either rice or bread of your choice.

Hi Ray,
a slight green tint maybe, but possibly more your contrast? :D
I love rabbit!
Makes a great curry. I've cooked Rabbit and Artichoke curry a few times in the past. Jerusalem Artichokes make a Fantastic curry! ;)
I grew up eating rabbit, although i'm not so keen on the flavour of domesticated(my nan was still breeding into the 70's from the recommendation during ww2)
I dont go in for the hanging thing either, be it rabbit or pheasant. Both are wonderful meats from fresh killed.(shot or roadkill :P)
I like the fact that he calls it cinnamon leaf though, good man ;)
Cheers, Frank.
p.s. if anyone ever decides to make a curry with jerusalem artichokes, make sure you add Hing powder! ;D

Er, no : /distinctly/ green here too ...
Incidentally, much as I love fluffy bunny-wunnies, and drive very carefully down our local lanes so as not to risk injuring one (or worse), I am not averse to collecting others' road kill, but I have never made a curry from one. My standard rabbit dish is a rabbit pie, made with jointed (but not boned) rabbit, leeks and lemons : absolutely delicious.

I loved those old cartoons, why don't they show them anymore? Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Goofy, Mickey Mouse...... I remember when I was a kid and on Bank Holidays they always had "Disney Time" on TV, an hour of fantastic cartoons, where the hell did that go? Cartoons of today are crap compared to the classics" :(

Don't start me off, or I'll end up telling you about the time I skinned and gutted a couple of rabbits in the Departmental kitchen at College : all bl@@dy h@ll broke loose, I received a formal reprimand from HWMBO, and no amount of pointing out that half my colleagues cooked /meat/ in that same kitchen every day, and what the h@ll did he think the difference was between "meat" and "rabbit" was to any avail :(

Hi 976, or is it Bob?
I Do much prefer to use first names rather than member abbrevations. :)
Sorry, i dont have a recipe as such. Just those 2 ingredients work well together in a curry.
Why hing powder you ask?

LOL Phil, I remember when I took out a platoon of raw recruits and had snared a rabbit which was still alive in the snare, and I showed them how to dispatch it, and half of them threw up there and then and vowed to become vegetarians...
Once, we gave them all a rabbit on excercise which they had to fend for about 3 days. We reduced their rations on day 1 and by day 3, they had enough knowledge on vegetation to complete the meal...
The look on their faces when they were told that they had to dispatch the rabbit and cook a meal with the rabbit, vegetation and certain ingredients from their rat packs....
It's amazing what you can achieve when you are that hungry :)
