• Combine onion, scallion, garlic, fresh ginger, allspice, thyme leaves and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender; purée until smooth. Scrape mixture over lamb and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons curry powder and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, brown the meat on all sides. Drizzle in additional oil, if needed, to prevent meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Transfer browned meat to a plate as it browns.
• Once all the meat has been browned, return it to the pot, along with any juices on the plate. Add enough water to just cover meat. Bring liquid to a simmer, covered, then uncover the pot and cook gently for 45 minutes.
• Stir potato, carrot and pepper into pot. Simmer until vegetables are fork tender and meat is cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a bowl. Simmer cooking liquid until it has reduced and thickened to a saucy consistency (to taste), about 15 minutes. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Pour sauce over meat. Serve over rice, topped with a squeeze of lime, a dollop of mango chutney or pickle and fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add lamb/beef and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Lightly pound coriander seeds in a mortar or a bowl with a heavy spoon. Set aside. Heat oil in a pot on medium heat for 1 minute. Add cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle for 30 to 45 seconds. Add garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add coriander, chilies, cloves, cardamom and salt. Stir well and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add marinated meat with all the buttermilk plus 1 cup water. Stir continuously as you bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook for 1 hour. Remove lid and stir in mashed potato. Cover the pot again and cook for another hour, or until meat is cooked and tender. Add more water to keep meat covered if needed. Remove cloves before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the curry paste. Then, place the lamb in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the yogurt, curry paste, garam masala (save 1/4 teaspoon for garnish), turmeric, and salt and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, at least 4 and up to 24 hours.2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium-high heat, add the cardamom pods, cinnamon, and cumin seeds they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the coriander, then mix in the marinated lamb with the marinade and cook over high heat, stirring, until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook until most of the juices are dry, 20 to 25 minutes.3. Uncover the pan, add the green chili peppers and fenugreek leaves, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until the pieces are well-browned and are coated with the sauce, 10 to 12 minutes.4. Add the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the lamb is fork-tender and the sauce thick. Transfer to a serving dish, mix in half the cilantro, garnish with reserved garam masala and the remaining cilantro, and serve hot.VARIATION: To make a saucy dish, add some more whisked yogurt, buttermilk, or water in Step 4 and cook until you have your desired sauce.
