Method

  1. 1 This dish consists of only lamb, dried chilies, ghee, salt, and garlic—exactly five ingredients and no more.
  2. 2 This dish is cooked by hunters in the forest, so they only use what they bring with them; there are no onions or tomatoes.
  3. 3 Soak dried chilies for 25 minutes, then blend them with garlic to make a thick sauce.
  4. 4 Fry the lamb in ghee butter for 15 minutes until the outside is dark brown.
  5. 5 Pour in the chili sauce and simmer covered for 60 minutes, adding hot water only when it has almost evaporated.
  6. 6 Simmer until the ghee separates into a red layer on the surface, then squeeze lemon juice over it when serving.
