Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a spicier curry, increase the amount of red chili powder according to your taste.
- Soaking the tamarind pulp in warm water before adding it to the curry will help extract its tangy flavor more effectively.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the tenderness of the lamb offal. Cook longer if needed until the offal is tender and easily chewable.
- For a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of panch phoron used in the recipe.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day, as the flavors tend to deepen and intensify.
