Spice Paste: Make a paste of the Paste ingredients by adding 3 tbsp
water.  Butter beans: Put the cold water and the butter beans in a
sauce and  bring the liquid to the boil. Partially cover the pan and
cook over a  low heat for 15 minutes.  Now cover the pan tightly and
simmer the beans for about 20 minutes.  Remove the pan from the heat
and keep aside.  Heat oil over medium heat and add the onions, red
chillies and  cinnamon sticks. Stir and fry until the onions are soft,
about 5  minutes.  Add the ginger and garlic pastes and stir and fry
for 2-3 minutes.  Add the spice paste, adjust heat to low, stir and fry
for a further  3-4 minutes.  Lamb: Add the meat, turn heat up to
medium-high and fry for 5-6  minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the
tomato puree then add  cardamoms, cloves and warm water. Bring to the
boil, cover and simmer  until the meat is tender, 55-60 minutes.  If
using fresh butter beans add them, and the liquid in which they  were
cooked. Bring the liquid to the boil, cover the pan and simmer  for 15
minutes. For canned butter beans simply add and simmer for 5  minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon juice and coriander
leaves.  Serve with plain boiled rice or plain fried rice or Naan,
Tandoori  Roti etc.  DISCLAIMERÂ© Copyright 1996 - SelecTV Cable

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus Christ is the shelter from life’s storm.”

It would not have been right for the restoration of human nature to be left undone, and…it could not have been done unless man paid what was owing to God for sin. But the debt was so great that, while man alone owed it, only God could pay it, so that the same person must be both man and God. Thus it was necessary for God to take manhood into the unity of His Person, so that he who in his own nature ought to pay and could not should be in a person who could… The life of this Man was so sublime, so precious, that it can suffice to pay what is owing for the sins of the whole world, and infinitely more.

Anselm

The oldest and most revered tactic for avoiding the misery of guilt is religion. This tactic may be the most deceptive because it comes closest to the truth. It recognizes what the intellectual and physical strategies generally ignore: that the ultimate cause of guilt is that there is a righteous God whose will for his creatures is ignored or defied. It recognizes that under every pang of conscience in the human soul there is the silent, often unexpressed conviction, 'I have gone against God.' The means that religion has developed to deal with this guilt is to try to placate or appease God with good works or religious ritual. Religious people know they owe God a great debt for their disobedience. But they often make the terrible mistake of thinking they can pay it back through good works and the performance of religious duties.
