Preheat the oven to 160°C.

Lamb

Place the garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, black pepper and cardamom in a small bowl and mix to a paste with a little vegetable oil. Rub into the lamb shanks.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a dash of oil. Place in the lamb shanks and brown on both sides, then transfer to a casserole dish that fits the lamb shanks comfortably.

Pour the yoghurt and stock into the frying pan and bring to the boil. Pour over the shanks. Add the green chilli and cinnamon and cover with the lid or tin foil.

Place in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 – 3 hours until the meat is almost falling off the bone. Turn shanks from time to time and season as required.

Remove from the oven and strain sauce into a wide saucepan. Bring sauce to the boil. Pour sauce over the shanks before serving.

To serve

Serve with flatbreads, Indian-style chutney and finish with a little green chilli and coriander. Green beans are good here too.
