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
