Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Heat oil in a large pot and then add the garlic, ginger, onion and chilli.

  2. Cook for a few minutes to soften the onion and then add the fennel, turmeric and cardamom.

  3. Next add the lamb shanks coating well with spice mixture and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. Now add the honey, tomato paste, canned tomatoes and water and bring to the boil and lower to a simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until meat is tender (I prefer nearly falling of the bone).

  5. Alternatively you could put it in a 160c fan forced or 180C non-fan forced oven for the 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

  6. Add the yoghurt and apricots and simmer for another 15 minutes.

  7. Stir through the coriander leaves just before serving.

  8. Recommend serving with basmati rice and spicy chutney.
