Method to cook Seene ke Gosht Ka Daalcha
Pressure cook the red split lentils by adding the required amount of water and leaving it to cook for 3-4 whistles
Once cooked, lightly mash the lentils using a mashed or a mini hand blender and set aside
Next heat oil in a heavy-bottomed vessel.
Add the cut bottle gourd and sauté the cubes lightly. Take them off once fried and keep them aside to be added later
Lower the flame and use the same oil to add the whole spices
Once the spices start crackling in the tempered oil, add the finely sliced onions and fry on a medium flame
When the onions start to brown, add in the turmeric, ginger garlic paste, salt and chilli powder and give the ingredients a good mix
Now throw in the lamb rib chops and cook for 5-10 minutes till the chops they start to change colour. Stir in the mashed lentils and tamarind paste and dilute the gravy by pouring in 2 glasses of water ( around 200 MLS )
Cover the lid of the vessel and leave the gravy to simmer on low flame for 25-30 minutes making sure to stir it occasionally
After the stipulated time, you would notice the gravy starts to bubble giving of the oil at the surface and would acquire a semi-thick consistency
At this point check to see if the lamb ribs have got fully cooked and if not then allow the gravy to cook on low flame.
Once done switch off the flame
