Nepali Goat Curry

From Jyoti Pathak, Painted Post, NY

It is then cooked with several other herbs and spices. Nepali garam masala or masu ko masala is added at the end of cooking process to retain pleasant aroma. The meat cooks in its own juice with the help of some water. The marinated spices add flavor and tenderness. It is served with rice, puffed-bread, chiura and a selection of chutney and vegetables.

  11. 3-4 medium size vine-ripped red tomato, finely chopped or mashed
  12. 1 tablespoon cumin, dry-roasted and ground
  13. 1 ˝ tablespoon coriander, dry-roasted and ground
  14. 1 teaspoon fennel seed, dry-roasted and ground

  18. 1 or 2 bunches of cilantro leaves (fresh coriander), washed well, chopped to yield ˝ cup
  19. 4 scallions, white and pale green parts only, root end discarded and sliced into cubes

Directions

…Wash meat pieces thoroughly with cold water. Cut into 1 or a ˝ inch pieces. Trim away as much visible fat as possible. Prepare the herb and spices as indicated in the ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine meat, clarified butter, ginger, garlic, chili, yogurt, turmeric and salt. Rub and message well into each piece vigorously by using hand. Cover and allow the meat to marinate up to four hours in room temperature or can be placed in the refrigerator overnight. Bring it back to room temperature before cooking.

Add tomato and cook until all the moisture has evaporated, stirring frequently. Mix ground cumin, coriander and fennel. Add marinated meat pieces and mix to coat the spices well. Add ˝ cup of water and continue cooking covered. When it is boiling, reduce the heat to simmer. Continue cooking until the meat is tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened.

Add more water (2 tablespoons at a time) if the meat is not cooked, continue cooking until the desired tenderness is obtained. The secret to success this recipe is to keep adding small amount of water and let it evaporate before more is added. Remove from heat and adjust salt. When ready to serve, transfer to serving dish, add cilantro and scallions. Serve hot.

Aloo Tama

Submitted by ISA

Say 'tama' to some of your Nepalese friends and you will probably get a nice chuckle others may laugh outright. Ask for it in any 'authentic' Nepalese restaurant and you may meet with the disbelief of both the chef and the waiter. Serve tama to our guests? No way! What is 'tama' that it should evoke such strong opinions? Quite simply, tama is one of the best-kept secrets of Nepalese cuisine. The tama itself is the pickled and fermented tender young bamboo shoots. It is not served to visitors simply because it is considered plain, peasant fare not worth of being served to honored guests. But in households throughout Nepal it is such a well- loved comfort food that it is served at least once a week during the winter season. The secret of its enduring popularity is that it is extremely tasty - slightly sour – extremely pungent (OK, let's be honest, downright stinkey!) but very appetizing. Like its not so distant cousins, kim-chi and sauerkraut, this fermented vegetable has quite a following but can be an acquired taste. Keep an open mind and give it a try.

Fermented bamboo shoots are also used extensively in Chinese cuisine where they most probably originated. Aloo Tama, as it is served in Nepal, it is a dish that bridges these two cultures: the tama from China and the spices from India. To the best of my knowledge, fermented bamboo shoots are not used at all in Indian cuisine.

You can buy tama at almost any vegetable shop in your local chowk. It can range in color from pale white-gray to bright yellow depending on whether it has been treated with turmeric. Look for it in large plastic containers where it is soaking in its own brine - you usually don't have to ask for it because if they sell it - you can smell it! It is sour, pungent and very evocative. More recently it is sold in sealed glass jars – look for it in the 'pickle' section of the supermarket. Look for nice fresh plump tama that is not too woody - the tenderest young shoots are the best.

The recipe I have chosen is the most common preparation: tama with aloo (potato) and bori (black eyed peas). This preparation ranges in consistency somewhere between a runny stew and a thick soup and it is usually simply served with plain rice – a one-dish meal (homey fast-food).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup tama (rince with fresh water before cooking)
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 1 cup black eyed peas (soaked overnight)
  • 2 tbs. oil or ghee
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1-2 tsp. turmeric
  • 2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 2 tbs. chopped fresh coriander for garnish

Directions

Heat the oil and fry the cumin seed until fragrant then add the onion and garlic and sauté gently for a few minutes - add the ground spices and fry well. Add the salt, tomatoes, tama, potatoes and the black eyed peas and add enough water to give it the consistency of soup. Cook in a pressure cooker for 20-30 min. or until the black-eyed peas are cooked. Adjust the seasonings and cook for 10 more minutes uncovered until it has reached the right consistency. Grnish with a generous sprinkling of fresh chopped coriander. Serve with plain rice. Enjoy!
