    How to Make Sindhi-Style Savory Lamb Delight

    1. Trim Lamb and Prepare Marinade

    Trim any excess fat and tissue from the lamb cubes. In an electric blender, combine the coarsely chopped onions, ginger, garlic, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, red wine vinegar, and salt. Blend until smooth.

    2. Marinate Lamb

    Place the trimmed lamb cubes in a bowl and coat them thoroughly with the prepared paste. Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate for 3 to 4 hours. Refrigerate if your kitchen is warm.

    3. Cook Marinated Meat

    Transfer the marinated meat to a wide 4-quart cooking pot. Add whole fennel seeds and black onion seeds. Cook over medium heat, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally.

    4. Adjust Seasoning and Reduce Liquid

    Check and adjust salt to taste. Continue to simmer until the liquid has reduced significantly.

    5. Add Vegetable Oil and Finish Cooking

    Add vegetable oil to the pot. Stir and fry the meat until it develops a rich, caramelized coating and the sauce clings to the browned pieces.

    6. Serve

    Transfer the savory lamb delight to a warmed serving dish. Serve with chapatis, parathas, pooris, or rice, along with side dishes like peas, okra, beans, cabbage, or yogurt.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality of Lamb

    Select fresh, high-quality lamb with a good balance of meat and fat, preferring shoulder or leg cuts for slow-cooked dishes.

    Slow Cooking

    Cook the lamb slowly on a low simmer for fall-apart tenderness, using a stovetop, oven, or slow cooker.

    Marination

    Use yogurt and traditional Sindhi spices to marinate the lamb for several hours, or ideally, overnight.

    Bhuna Technique

    Patiently fry spices and meat until well browned to develop deep, complex flavors, ensuring onions are caramelized and spices are aromatic.

    Consistency

    Ensure the gravy is rich and thick, reducing it if necessary after cooking to achieve the right texture.
