Lamb Saag



My favourite Indian (lamb) dish...I first tried it in a local restaurant and I liked it very much;  I then  researched for a recipe on the internet. Tastes even better...

Ingredients:
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 cinnamon stick
6 cardamom pods
2 tbs oil
2 onions, diced
2 cm ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 chilli, sliced
1 kg lamb, cubed
2 pst turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2-1 tsp chilli powderĝ
1 tsp coriander powder
2 bay leaves
1 1/2-2 cups beef broth
1 bunch spinach (frozen ok) - 250 gr
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs fresh coriander
1/3 cup yogurt 
Method:
Roast first 4 ingredients on a dry pan (until heated trough and aromatic); set aside.
Heat oil, sautee onions for 3-4 minutes. Add meat, garlic, ginger and chilli. Stir until meat change colour, then add roasted spices and all other powdered spices, bay leaves and beef broth. Cover and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours (or until meat tender). Last 10-15 minutes add spinach and season to taste. Garnish with yogurt and coriander before serving (with rice).


Saag Jagnjetina 

 Jedno od najdrazih Indijskih jela sa jagnjetinom. Prvi put sam ga probala u jednom lokalnom restoranu, odusevila se i bacila na trazenjerecepta (na internetu). Moram priznati da je cak i bolje nego u restoranu.

Potrebno:
1 k fenugrek sjemenki
1/2 k kima
1 stapic cimeta
6 cijelih kardamoma
2 crvena luka, sjeckana
2 cm djumbira, sitno rendanog
3 cena bijelog luka, protisnutog / rendanog
1 ljuta papricica, cjeckana
1 kg jagnjetine, isjecene na kocke
2 k turmerika u prahu
1 k kima u prahu
1 k korijandera u prahu 
1/2 - 1 k chili praha
2 lista lovora
1 1/2 - 2 solje govedjeg temeljca / supe
1 veza spinata , moze i smrznuti - 250gr
1/2 k soli
2 K lisca korijandera
1/3 solje jogurta
Nacin:
Zagrijte tavu na na suho proprzite prva 4 sastojka (dok ne pocne mirisati); ostavite po strani.
Zagrijte ulje u serpi / loncu, proprzite luk, zatim dodajte meso, bijeli luk, djumbir i chili. Dinstajte dok meso ne promijeni boju. Ubacite sve zacine, ukljucujuci one u prahu, lovor i zalijte temeljcem. Pokrijte i kuhajte oko 1-1 1/2 sat ili dok meso ne omeksa. Zadnjih 15 minuta dodajte spinat i so. Prije serviranja (sa rizom) stavite jogurt i korijander na vrh.

    1. Sjemenke fenugrika (i listovi) se koriste uglavnom u Indijskim receptima; ne mislim da postoji kod nas!

  11. Volim indijsku kuhinju, uvijek je sve tako aromatično i fino, kod nas nema baš svih začina, a na žalost nema niti indijskih restorana osim tu i tamo koji i to ne baš posebno kvalitetan. Recept bilježim , prilagoditi ću ga dostupnim začinima i svakako probam !
