Hey guys, this simple yet delicious Lamb Shank Stew is to die for. Please try and don't forget to comment, like, share & SUBSCRIBE to my channel Curry for the Soul on YouTube for more such easy and delicious recipes.
I know people have been making lamb stew in casserole or slow cooker. But believe me, there is nothing like cooking lamb shanks in pressure cooker in 20 minutes. Why waste time, gas and electricity ? To get succulent meat pieces and to get the meat fall apart from the bones is only possible in pressure cooker within 20 minutes.
All you need to do is saute some aromatic whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves and then add some green chillies, ginger, onion and tomatoes. Then add the meat and cook it for 20 minutes.
While the meat gets cooked, you can chop your vegetables, like carrot, potatoes, etc. and once the meat is cooked, add the vegetables and cook for another whistle.
The secret ingredient that gives the flavour to this stew is coconut milk and the tempering of mustard seeds, crushed peppercorns and curry leaves. You can have this stew for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is so filling and satisfying with the flavourful root vegetables.
