And I am a complete novice when it comes to cooking. But i'm gonna be posted away from home for a year and hence, gotta put on e apron. The above recipe looks very easy. Was wondering if i could substitute lamb for chicken? And leave out curry leaves when cooking? Hi,

Will definitely try it. I'm not much of a lamb person though I guess cuz of the after taste here in US. It stinks in my opinion and it could be cuz of the hormones they add. I've heard adding a pinch of Heeng (Asafoetida) while cooking lamb can get rid of the smell/after taste. I was just wondering if its true? I love to cook but unfortunately I'm not yet at your level of expertise :) If I do add heeng to your recipe when I cook it will it change the taste of this recipe you think? Thanks :) This looks delicious. Will definitely try it. I’m not much of a lamb person though I guess cuz of the after taste here in US.

It is delicious! The lamb was so tender - although it did get an uber long marinade as I set off planning it for lunch and then postponed it for dinner! Was quite watery though, not the thick sticky lamb of your picture - thickened it up with a little flour though with no adverse effects. Still, all in all fabulous. :~) Been reading HoH for a while now, loved all your recipes I've tried. <em>Hey Jody, Congratulations!! Hope you both have a wonderful life together ahead! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. I love marinating my meats for as long as possible, especially overnight, as it definitely helps make it super tender and extremely laden with flavours. Next time, try not adding any water in the beginning and only if the meat begins to stick to the pan. That would help get that deliciously think gravy. Congrats once again, and do come back for more! </em> Made this at the weekend after proposing to my man on the 29th! It is delicious!

Fantastic flavor for minimal work--except for grinding so much pepper, but that gave DH something to do while keeping me company in the kitchen. :-) I must say neither of us were enchanted with the bell pepper; next time, I think we'll try green beans or "yard-long" beans or some such. But there will be a next time, it was so yummy, and so easy. Thanks! <em>Thanks for the feedback Kaye, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! You can definitely get creative with adding more veggies in this dish. Green beans sounds like a great option, potatoes would be amazing too. </em> We just had this for dinner–wow!

And yup I have the parsley and pita bread and curry leaves ... all screaming to be used. So this is a timely post for me. Thanks. <em>You're right Kate, it would be good with beef as well.

I usually prepare black pepper lamb, but i pressure cook lamb, saves time.. The pic is so beautiful, drooling over it! <em>Pressure cooking the lamb is a good tip Mona, but I find that doing so gets rid of some of its flavour.

And the heat sounds welcome with February's rainy dreary weather here in Tidewater VA. I really love the flavorof lamb, which we never ate growing up.
