"A dish from the Delhi region. Cuts of boneless beef can also be used in this recipe, but the true flavor is in the lamb. Serve with some rice, pakoras or samosas and a nice crispy salad!"

this is very good and spicy - we had it over rice. I did not have all the ingredients so I did need to adapt a bit and skipped some of the ingredients - still a good meal. I was wondering if it would be easier to put the spices in a cheesecloth bag as they are hard to pick out before serving the curry. Thanks for sharing!
