Topic: Precooked lamb

[Curry King]

My method for precooking lamb:

This is about right for about 4 leg steaks or neck fillets, most of the time I only cook two.

Heat a little oil in a saucepan
Add 2 black pods and 4 green lightly crushed
1 Piece of cassia bark
2 Bay leaves
When starting to heat up add a tsp of g&g puree and mix in
Add a tsp of cumin and a tsp of coriander powder
Mix in for a minute or two
Add the lamb and coat in the oil and spices
Add boiled water to cover the lamb and bring to the boil
Soon as it is boiling turn the heat right down cover and let gently simmer for about 45mins to an hour.

The result is really flavourfull and so tender you could chew it without teeth

Cassia bark?

Is that Cinnamon CA? Proper Cinnamon I mean I know there are several types.
Best.

I have been looking at recipe for precooked lamb can you be a bit more specific as to what ingredients you are referring to" Add 2 black pods and 4 green lightly crushed"

Chipfryer:  cassia is cassia, not cinnamon (see glossary section http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,2434.0.html - though this is not visible to me in the "beginners guide" section for some reason???)

Daneil:  black (brown) and green pods are cardamon pods (see glossary section again http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,2440.0.html)

Thankyou

Yes, sorry for not being more specific, this was from a while ago although my posting standards still haven't improved that much

Thanks CK you have answered what was going to be my next question on cooking! I have been using the KD method or just simply boiling for a while. To be honest I think the KD method is a bit lacking and adjusts the flavour in an adverse way. Since I have most of the ingredients I will give this a whirl. When I can get some cheap lamb!! Any farmers on the board!! ;D  ;D  ;D

Hi!,

Please could you clarify if the recipe calls for no salt at all?, I would like to give it a try.

Thanks

Malacara,

i've only just come across this recipe - did u try it - it's looks very good. have u tried the CK bhuna associated with it (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,1914.0.html).

i'd say the salt would be down to preference and i would leave it out based on the curry sauce giving enough seasoning to the overall dish.

Sorry for no reply I must have missed it, the recipe is as I was told, no salt.
