For this recipe, I hopped over to Akal's Saapadu(= A Sister's Feast), a bilingual blog that is a treasure trove for multi-cuisine recipes. There were plenty of recipes that I have bookmarked but I chose the scrumptious "Lamb Pepper Fry" recipe that drove me into a frenzied shopping for some succulent Australian lamb shanks and try the recipe soon after. Rather than doing a dry version, I liked mine with a bit of gravy to go with steamed rice. So yummy it was, we ate almost all and I didn't have much to photograph.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Lamb with bones - 2.2 pounds, cleaned and cut into bit size pieces
- Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

ReplyDeleteI am book marking this dish...I like the spicing , I also note that you have not used clove, cinnamon and cardamum. I am sure the bay leaf and fennel will give a unique flavor...I wish i cook it today. any way another 11 days to go....and will be home.
