My mom is my inspiration in many things, and especially in cooking.
This is her signature dish. Quite delicious and a hit recipe in my family. I don't know about its name
reasons but we call it as Ahani Curry. When I saw this
contest, I decided to make this meat curry with the healthy Fortune Rice Bran Oil.
And here is the dish I cooked. Hope you all like this recipe. Try it and tell
me how you like it. J

Though I am a vegetarian, but this seems to be interesting dish even if prepared with paneer or tofu.

DeleteLamb! I have always been curious about how it actually taste. Was it really that good? How about the texture? My curiosity actually began when I started watching Gordon Ramsey! He talks about lamb a lot!
