Lamb Chilly Fry

Lamb chilly fry

A Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year 2014 to all my blog viewers. May you get all the happiness, peace and success throughout the year. We are all set to celebrate Christmas. We bought Christmas Tree from David Jones and it is beautiful. With all the decorations, lightings and a star on the tree top made it to look fabulous. Also I have bought all the stuff to bake chocolate cake tomorrow and my husband gifted me Jamie Oliver Big Boy BBQ. This charcoal BBQ is smart to look and portable. It is easy to carry and great for outdoor get together. Can use in parks or beaches :). I am loving it. I will definitely post the barbecue recipes soon. 

Coming to today's recipe this lamb chilly fry is a must try semi-gravy dish. The tasty and spicy masala is mixed along with the lamb and fried over medium heat for some time and cooked in pressure cooker. A good lamb recipe to try for this festive season. I have used boneless lamb in this recipe. You can use lamb with the bone as it tastes very good. Give a try and let me know the end result. Waiting to hear from you. Again wish you all a Joyous Christmas.

Grind the ingredients listed under ''grinding'' to a smooth paste by adding little water (don't add too much water). Keep aside.

Heat oil or ghee in a pressure cooker add garlic and onions fry till the onion become transparent. 

Add masala paste and salt and mix it. To this as add lamb, mix it nicely so that all the masala coats well on the lamb. Fry on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.Do not add any water as lamb leaves lot of water. Cover the lid and pressure cook on medium heat  and take 4-5 whistles. Let the pressure go completely and remove the lid and do the taste check for salt.
