3 lbs boneless lamb, plus 3 meaty lamb bones
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons tamarind pulp
salt to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 big white onion
6 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root

1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 cups onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground mustard
3 teaspoons turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons red (cayenne) pepper
3 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
hot water


Cut lamb into 3/4" cubes. Place lamb and the bones in a nonmetallic bowl with the oil, vinegar, tamarind and salt. Marinade at room temperature for 8 hours, or refrigerated for at least 24 hours.
Put two tablespoons oil, onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor and puree.

Heat 1/2 cup oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until they are caramel brown, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Add the puree. Reduce the heat and add cumin, mustard, turmeric, red pepper, paprika, sumac and cinnamon. When the spices begin to sizzle and turn dark (about 15 seconds), add the lamb and bones; reserve the marinade. Cook until slightly seared (about 10 minutes). Add water to the marinade to make 2 1/2 cups liquid; add to pan and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, until meat is very tender (about 30 minutes).

Pick out and discard the bones and serve over rice.

Patak's Vindaloo Paste Method
Ingredients
1 cup thinly chopped onions
2 Tbs cooking oil
1 lb boneless chicken, chopped
3-4 Tbs Patak's vindaloo paste
3 medium potatoes, cubed (~2cm)
2 cups of water, more or less.
Preparation
In a wok, fry the onions over low to moderate heat in the oil until they are carmelized. Add the chicken, increase the heat, and stir fry until the chicken turns white.
Add vindaloo paste, water, and potatoes. (The water should almost cover everything.) Stir well, and simmer until the potatoes are cooked (20-30 minutes).

Serve over rice.

Vindaloo the Hard Way
2 t whole cumin seeds
2-3 hot, dried red chili peppers
1 t black peppercorns
1 t cardamom seeds (take seeds out of the pods)
3-inch stick of cinnamon
1 1/2 t whole black mustard seeds
1 t whole fenugreek seeds (if available)
5 T white wine vinegar
1 1/2 to 2 t salt
1 t light brown sugar
10 T vegetable oil
2 medium onions, peeled and sliced into fine half-rings
1 1/3 c water (or broth/stock)
2 lb boneless lamb (or pork or beef) shoulder meat, cut into
1-inch cubes
1-inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 small, whole head of garlic, with all the cloves separated
and peeled
1 T ground coriander
1/2 t ground tumeric

Grind cumin seeds, red chilies, peppercorns, cardamom seeds, cinnamon, black mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds in a coffee- grinder or other spice grinder. Put the ground spices in a bowl. Add the vinegar, salt, and sugar. Mix and set aside.

Heat the oil in a wide, heavy pot over a medium flame. Put in the onions. Fry, stirring frequently, until the onions turn brown and crisp. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and put them into the container of an electric blender or food processor. (Turn the heat off.) Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to the blender and puree the onions. Add this puree to the ground spices in the bowl. (This is the vindaloo paste). It may be made ahead of time and frozen.)

Dry off the meat cubes with a paper towel and remove large pieces of fat, if any.

Put the ginger and garlic into the container of an electric blender or food processor. Add 2 to 3 Tablespoons of water and blend until you have a smooth paste.

Heat the oil remaining in the pot once again over a medium-high flame. When hot, put in the lamb cubes, a few at a time, and brown them lightly on all sides. Remove each batch with a slotted spoon and keep in a bowl. Do all the lamb this way. No put the ginger-garlic paste into the same pot. Turn down the heat to medium. Stir the paste for a few seconds. Add the coriander and tumeric. Stir for another few seconds. Add the meat, any juices that may have accumulated as well as the vindaloo paste and 1 cup water (or stock). Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently for an hour or until meat is tender. Stir a few times during this cooking period. Serves 6.
