Description

My mother asked me to make this recipe for her and I was surprised at how good it was. My neighbor smelled it and asked what I was making, and loved it too. Serve with traditional curry garnishes such as chutney, peanuts, sliced bananas, and dates. I served over brown rice.

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 pounds cubed lamb stew meat
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ½ pound eggplant, cubed
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup diced dried apricots, soaked in warm water
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • ½ cup apricot jam
Directions
  1. 1. Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Fry onions and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves; continue stirring for 1 minute.
  2. 2. Reduce heat slightly and add lamb. Cook until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Add beef broth, eggplant, tomato paste, bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, and vinegar. Drain apricots and stir in. Reduce heat and cover; simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
  3. 3. Stir yogurt and jam into the curry a few minutes before serving.
