Servings: persons

3 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
1 whole Onion, Chopped
1 whole Tomato, Grated
1- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger Paste
1- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Paste
2 teaspoons Ground Coriander Seeds
2 teaspoons Ground Cumin Seeds
1/2 teaspoons Turmeric Powder
1/2 teaspoons Red Chili Powder
2 teaspoons Tomato Paste
1/2 pounds, 78 ounces, weight Boneless Lamb/ Beef Cubes
1 whole Potato, Cut Into Large Cubes
1/2 teaspoons Garam Masala
Chopped Coriander To Garnish
Water (as Needed)
Salt To Taste

1
Add oil to a pressure cooker and when hot, fry onions with salt on medium heat until golden brown.
2
Add grated tomatoes, ginger and garlic and fry until you see a film of oil on top.
3
Add the coriander and cumin, turmeric, red chili powder and tomato paste (I omit the red chili powder as my 18-month-old eats the same food as we do).
4
Fry for a further 2 minutes.
5
You can add a little water at this stage (approximately 3-4 tablespoons) if you feel you curry is sticking to the bottom of the pressure cooker.
6
Add your meat cubes and enough water so that the meat is submerged completely in the water.
7
Pressure cook until the lamb is cooked and soft (mine usually takes about 30-45 minutes as the meat in Dubai is quite tough).
8
You can then add the potatoes and simmer the curry on low heat until the potatoes are cooked through and soft.
9
Turn the heat off and add garam masala and coriander.
10
Serve hot with steamed basmati rice or chapatis.
