Hyderabad Lamb

WOW! It has been quite some times since I poste any recipes in this site! I’ve been a little bit busy these past few months, that I didn’t spend much time in the kitchen. I miss cooking and experimenting!!

After that long absence, I’m going to share a Hyderabad Lamb recipe. It was quite good. My dad, who are a fan of lamb dish love this one!  I learned this recipe from an Indian chef while I was still studying in culinary school. It was tasty, so I decided to give this recipe a try. Of course, I have to alter the recipe for a bit as the recipe actually came along with the biryani rice.
