Method

Clean the diced lamb pieces and set them aside. I am not going to marinate these because they will have enough time in slow cooker to absorb all flavors from curry.

Chop onion, ginger and garlic.

Heat oil in a pan and add some bay leaves.

Add garlic and ginger and sauté it for few minutes. Do this on low flame.

When it starts turning brown, add diced onion.

Keep stirring it for 3 to 4 minutes at low flame.

Add ginger garlic paste, mix and stir it for another 2 minutes.

Add all the mentioned spices and mix them properly and leave it on low heat. If the paste looks dry, add just a bit of water.

When the raw smell of the onions and spices fades away, add yogurt to the mix. Stir it well, and cover the pan for another 5 minutes. Keep the flame low else the mix might stick to the bottom of the pan.

The yogurt will make the mix thick and you will start noticing oil oozing out from the sides. This means the paste is ready to be transferred to the slow cooker.

Mix enough water and transfer it to slow cooker along with diced lamb.

Leave it in there for another 6-7 hours.

When done, serve it with rice or naan bread.

I love dishes that are slow cooked. It gives enough time for the main ingredient to absorb all the infused flavors. They come in really handy when you have people coming in for lunch and you do not want to spend all morning in kitchen. A slow cooker can be used at low heat to continue cooking the food for 7-8 hours without burning and over cooking.Be prepared to wake up next morning to the amazing smell of your food.: 45 minutes: 7 hours: 2-3 servings500g diced lamb2 medium sized onions3 cloves of garlic2-tbsp-grated ginger1-2 green chili (optional)1 Bay Leaf1-tbsp ginger garlic paste3-4 tablespoon of yogurtOilWaterHere is a list of spices I used:Salt1 tbsp Red Chili Powder (or as much as your taste buds allow you)1 tbsp Coriander powder¼ tbsp of nutmeg powder½ tbsp Cumin powder2 tbsp of fenugreek leaves½ tbsp allspice powder
