• Raw musk (poppaya) 1 Tbsp
• Soya sauce 2 Tbsp
• Flour of pulse - parched (Baisan) 2 Tbsp
• Egg 1

• 1 tb Cumin seeds
• 4 ts Coriander seeds
• 1 Or 2 teaspoons cayenne -pepper
• 1 t Saffron threads
• 3 tb Hot milk
• 6 tb Ghee or clarified butter -(see note)
• 2 md Onions, chopped
• 5 Black cardamom pods -cinnamon sticks
• 4 Cloves
• 3 Bay leaves
• 1 Fresh ginger, grated
• 4 lg Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 lb Boneless lamb, cut into -1/2-inch cubes
• 1 c Fresh, sweet, unflavored -yogurt
• Salt
• 1/4 c Heavy cream
• 1 tb Rose water
• 1/4 c Blanched almonds

Heat the ghee or clarified butter in a large, shallow, heavy pan.

Stir in the onions, cardamom pods, cinnamon, cloves and bay leaves. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to turn reddish brown, about 15 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the onions are reddish brown.

Stir in the ground spices and cook, stirring, for about 10 seconds, or until the spices release their fragrance.

Dry the meat with paper towels. Stir half of the meat into the spice mixture. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring for a few minutes, making sure all the meat is coated with the spices. Stir in the remaining meat, and cook as before, scraping the bottom of the pan.

If the mixture gets too dry, splash in a little water.

Turn the heat to medium. Start adding the yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring and incorporating it into the mixture before adding the next tablespoonful. Continue adding in this way until all the yogurt has been used.

Turn the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer the meat for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. If necessary, splash in a little water from time to time. When the meat is tender, and salt to taste. Stir the cream and cook until the sauce is thick. Stir in the saffron and rose water and heat thoroughly.

Put the remaining yoghurt into a bowl. Beat lightly with a fork or a whisk until it is smooth and creamy. Add the paste from the processor, the cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and garam masala. Mix. Push some of the spice paste into all the openings in the lamb. Be quite generous. (I forgot to say, you need to ask the butcher to make a deep pocket to hold a "stuffing", in this case, some spice paste mixture, or make a pocket yourself) Spread the paste evenly on the underside of the leg (the side that originally had less fat.) Now, using a small, sharp, pointed knife make deep slashes in the meat, and push in the spice paste with your fingers.

Turn the leg over so its outer side (the side that was once covered with fat) is on the top. Spread a very thick layer of paste over it. Again, make deep slashes with the knife and push the spice paste into the slashes. Pour all the remaining spice paste over and around the meat. Cover with plastic cling film and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Take the baking dish with the meat out of the refrigerator and let the meat come to room temperature. Remove the cling film. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium flame. When hot, put in the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and peppercorns. When the cloves swell - this takes just a few seconds - pour the hot oil and spices over the leg of lamb. (My note: I found the spices jumped and spat in the oil quite a lot - make sure your arms and counter are well protected) Preheat the oven gas mark 6, 400 F. Cover the baking dish tightly either with its own lid or with a large piece of aluminium foil. Bake, covered, for 1 hour 30 minutes.

• 14 oz Canned coconut milk
• 8 Dried, red chile peppers *
• 2 ts Cumin seeds
• 2 ts Coriander seeds
• 1 ts Turmeric
• 1 tb Grated fresh ginger
• 6 Garlic cloves, minced
• 5 tb Peanut oil
• 1 lg Onion, thinly sliced
• Salt
• 1 lb Prawns, shelled, deveined

Process the grated fresh coconut or the desiccated coconut with 3 1/2 cups hot water in a food processor. Drape a piece of folded cheesecloth over a bowl and pour the coconut mixture into the cheesecloth. Strain the liquid, squeezing the pulp to extract as much milk as possible. This is thick coconut milk; set aside.

Pour 2 1/2 cups hot water over the coconut in the cheesecloth and squeeze to extract more milk into another bowl. This second extract is thin coconut milk. Set aside.

If you are using canned coconut milk, skip this step and proceed with the recipe.

Grind the chile peppers, cumin and coriander seeds in a spice grinder and set aside.

Process the thick coconut milk (or canned coconut milk) with the ground spices, turmeric, ginger and garlic; set aside.

Heat the oil in a heavy, shallow pan. Add the onions and cook until the edges begin to turn almost reddish brown (about 15 minutes), stirring frequently. Add the coconut-spice mixture and cook until the liquid evaporates and oil separates from the paste. Cook this paste for 10 more minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir in the reserved thin coconut milk (or 2 cups water, if you have used canned coconut milk) and let simmer until reduced to a creamy sauce. Add salt to taste.

Stir the prawns into the sauce and cook a few minutes until the prawns are just cooked. (Be careful not to overcook). Serve with steamed rice.

Grated fresh coconut: Pierce the eyes of a fresh coconut and drain off the liquid. Put the coconut in a preheated 375F oven for 20 minutes. Break it open with a hammer and separate the meat from the hard shell in large pieces. Break the pieces into smaller ones and, using a vegetable peeler, peel the brown skin off the meat. Grate the coconut meat in a food processor.
