Those both sound yummy, but I have never eaten lamb and I don't think It is sold around here. I would use chicken too
Here is a recipe that Lisa gave me yesterday..I made it today and all I can say is...AMAZING!!
1lb chicken cut into cubes
1 onion chopped
2 T curry powder
1 T tumeric
1 T cumin or cumin seeds
1 t. coriander
a pinch of cardamon powder or if you use a cardamon pod..remove it and don't eat (I used powder)
not required but I used a pinch of fenugreek and some black cumin seed and about 1/4 t. of sazon
a pinch of asifatida
1 can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
1 can of milk
brown chicken and onion ( I used my electric skillet with a tad of olive oil)
add spices and toss until your chicken is coated, quickly add your soup and milk so the spices don't scorch. Simmer for 20-30 minutes
I served it topped over rice that I seasoned with cumin seed, salt and a tad of cumin powder.
My first Indian dish was a huge success!!!!
