Slow cooked Lamb Shank Indian Style


I am always fascinated by the slow cooking process and the aroma and flavor it brings to the food. when it comes to cooking Non-vegetarian dish it creates magic.

So this time I tried to cook Lamb Shank in Oven on a very low heat.

Ingredients:

1 Lamb Shank (approx 400 gms)
2 Medium size red onions thinely sliced
5 cloves of Garlic
1 inch ginger peeled and finely grated
1/2 Tomato chopped

Salt as per taste
Turmeric powder 2 tbsp
Chilli powder 2 tbsp
Coriander  powder 3 tbsp
Kasuri Methi leaves 2 tbsp
3 spoons natural yogurt

Cumin Seeds - 1.5 tbsp
1 badi Elaichi (brown cardamom)
Cinnamon Sticks - 2
Bay leaves - 2
Cloves - 3
Whole pepper - 5-6 pods


Oil

Heat oil in a pan and put the lamb shank and fry till brown on the sides. Take out the shank and set aside


Now add the whole spices and fry until brown.
Add the onion and garlic cloves and fry till golden brown.
Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, chilli powder, kasuri methi leaves and salt as per taste and stir to mix. add 3 spoons of Yogurt and mix well.

Cook it on a low flame until the oil starts separating from it. you need to add little water while cooking it so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Add coriander powder to it and add 1 cup water and bring to boil. Add the lamb shank to it and keep it covered in the pan and transfer the pan into oven preheated to 200 degrees. keep the Oven temperature to 80 degrees and let it cook for 3 hours or till the meat is tender.

Put the Shank in a baking dish and pour the thickened gravy over it and bake till crisp texture on the surface of meat.



Garnish with green coriander and serve with rice or Tandoori roti.
