45 Minute Lamb Curry (Succulent and tender!)
This lamb curry is melt-in-your-mouth tender and features the flavours of aromatic fennel and fiery chili.
The best part is that it only takes 45 minutes, and it's a curry you don't have to babysit on the stove. Which means, more time to do other things :D
Perfect paired with hot basmati rice, or naan/rotis.
INGREDIENTS
2 lbs boneless lamb shoulder, cubed
¼ cup plain yogurt
4 tsp ground fennel
4 tsp kashmiri chili powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 inches ginger, sliced
4 tbsp canola oil
1 bay leaf
1 small piece cinnamon
4 green cardamom
3 cloves
½ cup strained tomato sauce (passata)
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
Salt to taste
½ cup water
Fresh chopped coriander to garnish
METHOD
In a large bowl marinate lamb in yogurt, 2 tsp ground fennel, 2 tsp chili powder, turmeric, and salt to taste. Mix to combine, and allow to marinate for as long as it takes to prep the other ingredients.
To a food processor/blender add onions, garlic and ginger, and blend until smooth.
Set Instant Pot to saute mode, and add oil. Once hot, add bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves and saute for 10-15 seconds or until fragrant. Add onion mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes stirring often until slightly golden.
Pour in strained tomato sauce and seasoning with remaining fennel, chili powder, ground coriander, ground cumin and salt to taste. Cook tomato mixture down until the oil begins to separate along the edges, and the tomatoes become jammy in texture.
Add marinated lamb, and mix to coat in cooked down tomatoes. Cook for 5-6 minutes to seal all sides of the lamb.
Add water, and set Instant Pot to the pressure cook setting on high. Set the timer to 25 minutes.
Once ready, allow pressure to naturally release. Reduce curry on saute mode to desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with hot basmati rice, naan, or rotis. Enjoy!

Curry /ˈkʌri/, plural curries, is the generic English term primarily employed in Western culture to denote a wide variety of dishes whose origins are Southern and Southeastern Asian cuisines, as well as New World cuisines influenced by them such as Trinidadian, Mauritian or Fijian. Their common feature is the incorporation of complex combinations of spices and/or herbs, usually including fresh or dried hot chillies. In original traditional cuisines, the precise selection of spices for each dish is a matter of national or regional cultural tradition, religious practice, and, to some extent, family preference. Such dishes are called by specific names that refer to their ingredients, spicing, and cooking methods. spices are used both whole and ground; cooked or raw; and they may be added at different times during the cooking process to produce different results. Curry powder, prepared mixture of spices, is largely a Western notion, dating to the 18th century. Such mixtures are commonly thought to have first been prepared by Indian merchants for sale to members of the British Colonial government and army returning to Britain. Dishes called curry may contain meat, poultry, fish, or shellfish, either alone or in combination with vegetables. They may instead be entirely vegetarian, especially among those for whom there are religious proscriptions against eating meat or seafood.Curries may be either wet or dry. Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on yoghurt, coconut milk, legume purée (dal), or stock. Dry curries are cooked with very little liquid which is allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the spice mixture. The main spices found in most South Asian curry powders are turmeric, coriander, and cumin; a wide range of additional spices may be included depending on the geographic region and the foods being included (white/red meat, fish, lentils, rice and vegetables). Curry was adopted and anglicised from the Tamil word kari (கறி) meaning 'sauce', which is usually understood to mean vegetables and/or meat cooked with spices with or without a gravy. According to this theory, was first encountered in the mid-17th century by members of the British East India Company trading with Tamil (Indian) merchants along the Coromandel Coast of southeast India, particularly at Fort St. George (later called Madras and renamed Chennai in 1996). Here, they became familiar with a spice blend used for making kari dishes ... called kari podi or curry powder.. A further explanation put forward in The Flavours of History claims the origins of the word curry to be from old English first recorded in 'The Forme of Cury' (1390). Historically, the word curry was first used in British cuisine to denote dishes of meat (often leftover lamb) in a Western-style sauce flavoured with curry powder.The first curry recipe in Britain appeared in The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in 1747. The first edition of her book used only black pepper and coriander seeds for seasoning of currey. By the fourth edition of the book, other ingredients such as turmeric and were called for. The use of hot spices was not mentioned, which reflected the limited use of chili in India — chili plants had only been introduced into India around the late 15th century and at that time were only popular in southern India.
