This recipe has been with me for over 30 years; it was given to me by a Kashmiri guy I shared a house with when I was 17. This is his mum's family recipe. Kashmir's cuisine combines the area's fruits and nuts with the ingredients and the cooking style of the Moghuls. This rich stew makes a marvelous main dish. Serve it with hot steamed rice or crusty breads. This is lovely!
Cook's Notes:
You can also make this with mutton, goat or beef. It is one of those recipes that tastes great the next day too!
Warning: Make this with scotch bonnet or hotter peppers at your own risk!
Editor's Note:
To make this recipe in a slow cooker, follow steps 1 through 3. You may brown the lamb before adding it to the slow cooker, if you like (step 4). Combine all of the ingredients except the yogurt and cilantro in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Stir in the yogurt; cover and cook for 10 minutes more. Top with cilantro before serving.

INGREDIENTS
4 dried red chile peppers (such as cayenne)
3 long, green fresh chile peppers (such as Indian Jwala)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon Kashmiri garam masala
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
5 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ cup dried unsweetened coconut
3 tomatoes, chopped
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 pounds lamb meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup plain yogurt
½ teaspoon saffron threads
20 whole blanched almonds
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1 Place red chiles, green chiles, cumin seeds, garam masala, ginger, garlic, grated coconut, and tomatoes into a blender; pulse several times to chop, then blend into a smooth paste.
Step 2 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Step 3 Stir the spice paste into the onion and cook and stir until the oil separates from the mixture, about 3 minutes.
Step 4 Stir in lamb pieces and salt. Cook, stirring frequently over medium-high heat, until the lamb pieces are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Step 5 Mix in yogurt, saffron, and blanched almonds until well combined.
Step 6 Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender and the gravy is thick, about 1 hour.
Step 7 Garnish the curry with chopped cilantro before serving.
