Recipe: Stir fried lamb

Method

•  Put the lamb in a pressure cooker with about two cups of water. Add black pepper, salt and ginger garlic-paste to the pot and cook for 15 minutes. Once meat is tender, take it off the heat and save the leftover stock for later use.

•  In a large pan, heat some oil and fry the onions and green onion heads in it, along with the garlic paste. Continue frying till the onions become transparent.

•  Add carrots to the pan and fry for a minute. Add bell peppers and baby corn and sauté for another minute.

•  Add the meat and ground chillies to the stock and cook for two minutes, covering the pot and allowing the mixture to simmer for about five minutes.

•  Dilute flour in water and add it to the mixture to thicken it. Stir for two minutes and your delicious stir-fry is now ready to be served.
