Ingredients (for 2 people)

  • Lamb (thigh meat) 300g
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for seasoning) + a little for finishing
  • 1 clove of garlic (grated)
  • 1 piece of ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust the spiciness to your preference)
  • Paprika powder 1 teaspoon
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (powder can also be used)
  • Garam masala 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or ghee (for grilling)
  • Parsley (appropriate amount)
  • Garnish A: 1/2 bunch of broccoli
  • Garnish A: 1 tablespoon ghee or butter (for broccoli)
  • Garnish B: 1/2 avocado, 1/2 tomato, some broccoli sprouts
  • Garnish B: 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt
  • (optional) 1 lemon wedge

How to make

  1. Trim excess muscle and fat from the lamb meat and cut into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat.Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt all over to season.
  2. Grate the garlic and ginger and put them in a bowl.Add chili powder, paprika, cumin seeds and garam masala and mix.
  3. Add the spice mix from step 2 to the lamb meat and mix well with your hands.Once the spices are mixed in, let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes to let the flavors meld (if you're in a hurry, you can even do 5 minutes).
  4. In the meantime, prepare the garnish.Divide the broccoli into florets, boil in salted boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse with cold water.Drain the water and mix with ghee.
  5. Dice the tomatoes and avocado and toss with the broccoli sprouts with apple cider vinegar and salt.
  6. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add olive oil or ghee.Once it's hot enough, lay out the lamb and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the meat, until it's well browned.Be careful not to overcook as it will become hard as it cooks.
  7. Once cooked, turn off the heat, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle down.Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with garnish.Squeeze lemon if you like for a refreshing taste.

Nutrition/health points

Lamb is a high-quality source of protein, which helps repair muscle and maintain metabolism.Thigh meat is especially attractive because it has less fat and fewer calories.Vitamins B1 and B2 aid energy metabolism and contribute to recovery from fatigue, while minerals such as iron and zinc prevent anemia and support immune function.Spices (cumin, garam masala, chili) have a good aroma even in small amounts, and can be expected to stimulate the appetite and aid in digestion.The broccoli served as a side dish is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, and the avocado provides good unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E.Overall, it's a well-balanced dish.

arrangement tips

  • If you don't like spicy food, reduce the chili powder and increase the paprika to make it mellower.
  • Marinate for 30 minutes with yogurt and lemon juice to make it more tender and flavorful (Indian tandoori style).
  • Instead of frying in a frying pan, you can also bake it in the oven at 200℃ for 10 to 12 minutes.If you want to brown it, heat it briefly in the broiler at the end.
  • If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use cumin powder instead.It is also delicious to make it Western-style with rosemary or thyme instead of garam masala.
  • If you change the garnish to mixed grain rice or brown rice, the volume and dietary fiber will increase.
