Method
-
- Preheat the oven to 160°C.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper, then brown them on all sides in the pot. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and chopped red chillies, cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in cumin powder, coriander powder, and paprika. Cook for a minute until the spices are fragrant.
- Add chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef or vegetable stock. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
- Return the browned lamb shanks to the pot. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Let it cook for 2 to 2.5 hours or until the lamb is tender and falling off the bone.
- Remove the pot from the oven. Take out the lamb shanks and peel down the meat from the bone using your hands. Dice the meat to mouth sized pieces. Mix the sauce with a hand blender until well homogeneous. Return the diced meat to the pot, stirring well to combine with the sauce.
- Season with salt and black pepper according to taste.
- Serve the delicious chilli lamb over cooked rice or with crusty naan. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
