Curry dishes, originally, come from the Indian subcontinent. British used the spicy powder since the 18th century as it was a staple with their military forces. It is different from the common Garam masala which mostly contains pungent herbs. Lamb curry recipe can be prepared with homemade curry where we can use onion, ginger, garlic and tomato and herbs. The herbs can be used whole dry or in powdered form in the lamb karahi dishes.
There are many ways such dishes are prepared using ingredients like seafood, meat, legumes and vegetables that is marinated with turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander paste, and then fried in tomato puree and oil with Asian herbs like cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, cassia, pepper, mace (cover of nutmeg) and bay leaves.
Dry red chillies or jalapeno or Serrano chilli can be used to get a strong spicy taste. Whipping cream or yoghurt is added a few minutes before turning the heat off to get thick creamy reddish brown texture. Herbs like Thai basil or mint can be used to garnish it.
