About

Potatoes hold center stage alongside the lamb in this nuanced curry from Odhisha. The gravy is relatively thin and subtly spiced, though the fragrance of ginger is quite distinct. It makes for an excellent party dish and can be made ahead as it tastes even better the next day. This curry is best served with steamed rice or chapatis.
