- a minute or so, stirring constantly.
- Grind these and combine them
- into a paste with the other spices, the garlic, ginger, and the vinegar.

- Add the lamb to the marinade and mix well. Refrigerate for 3\-24 hours while
- mixing every few hours as convenient.

- Finely chop the onions and potatoes and saut\z\(aae them for 5 minutes in the
- butter.
- .SK 4
- Add lamb and spice paste and simmer over low heat for half an hour.
- .NX

- This can be skipped if need be.

- .I Difficulty:
- easy (though it's easy to burn the spices while roasting them).
- .I Time:
- 1 hour preparation, 1 day marinating, 1 hour cooking.
