Mutton with Gudra Beans

Ingredients:

500gr shoulder lamb

1 onion - half sliced finely; half grated

1 and half cups gudra beans

masala of ur choice (I used kashmiri with a half a teaspoon dhanya powder quarter teaspoon hurdee quarter teaspoon jeera seeds 2 small cinnamon sticks 2 green chillies 2 teaspoons ground ginger n garlic - best is homemade)

2 sprigs thyme

2 stems curry leaves. (One stem to used during cooking and one during simmering process)

Method:

Heat oil, add cinnamon sticks and jeera seeds.

Leave to splutter then add onions and sauté till light golden in colour.

Now add ground ginger and garlic and fry for a few seconds.

Add the masala dhanya powder n hurdee toss for a little while, then stir in lamb with gudra beans.

Add in salt.

I do this by my own judgement sprinkle the mint n thyme and give a good stir.

Let this fry until oil comes to the top.

Now add two cups water because gudra needs to soften.

Leave to cook for an hour and a half.

Checking on the curry so that it doesn't burn.

Add water as needed.

Lamb softens quickly.

Once gudra is soft turn heat down leave to fry dry so oil sits above beans and there's no liquid.

Once done garnish with fresh dhanya and few curry leaves.

I served with fresh mealie meal roti.

Variations u could add in grated jam tomato puree for thick gravy.

This time I wanted it to catch a little at the bottom.
