lamb shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken thighs are leaner and more affordable.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Season the lamb shoulder with salt, black pepper, and curry powder.

Heat oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Remove the lamb and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in yogurt and coconut milk, mixing well to combine.

Return the lamb to the pot and add cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and bay leaves.

Cover and transfer the pot to the oven; roast for 2-2.5 hours until the lamb is tender.

Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before shredding the meat.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Serve with rice or naan.
