Instructions
-
 Heat the ghee or the butter-with-olive-oil in a large, thick-bottomed pot (with cover) or Dutch oven on medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, brown the meat well on all sides and remove it from the pan.
-
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the curry powder to the ghee or oil. Cook gently for 1 to minutes. Add onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Return the lamb to the pan, and add the coriander, black pepper, cumin, rosemary, thyme, sliced lemon, apples, raisins, chicken stock, and salt.
-
Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to low, and cover the pot. (Or put the pot in a 300-degree F oven). Cook for 2 hours. Check at 2 hours to see if the meat is falling off the bone. It should be starting to do so.
-
Add the potatoes and cook for another 45 minutes.
-
While the curry is cooking, cook the rice. Put 2 cups of basmati rice in a medium thick-bottomed pot.
-
Add 3 cups of water (less or more depending on package instructions), a tablespoon of butter or ghee, and a teaspoon of salt.
-
Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a low simmer, cover the pot and let cook for 15 minutes (again check the package instructions).
-
Remove from heat, keep covered, and let steam for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
-
To serve, pull the meat off the bones or leave it on. Taste for salt and add some more curry powder or add cayenne for more spice.
-
Serve over rice with chutney and/or yogurt for drizzling over top.
