Spicy food is something we all crave quite often at home. Rocky and myself cannot stand bland food..If I am busy at work or off on meetings, one thing I look forward to coming home and tickle my taste buds with something very very spicy.

These spicy kebabs are Noel’s favourite. so simple to make and these kebabs often end on our BBQ or indoor grill quite often as they are full of flavours and so easy to make.Weather in UK has been very sunny for past few weeks so making the most of it before it changes. Hope it stays that way but today its overcast and rain is on its way!! Not that I am complaining as my veggie patch need watering so there u see!!

GONGURA LAMB AND GONGURA PRAWNS

Ingredients:
Gongura leaves
Onions 1
Chillies 4
Tomatoes: 2
Chilli powder 2tbsp
Ginger garlic paste 2tbsp
Coconut paste 2tbsp
Turmeric 1tsp
Salt to taste

I usually make the gongura paste and keep so that its easy to just add in lamb or prawns!!!

To make gongura paste, fry some green chillies, leaves and add salt to it.

Now take a saucepan, fry onions and chillies till they are light brown in color, add ginger garlic paste and fry for few min then add lamb or prawns, chilli powder, turmeric and salt and put a lid for some time.
Don’t add water imme..
After 10 min, add 2 glasses of water if its lamb or 1 glass of water for Prawns!!
I tend to cook for nearly 45 min on medium heat as lamb takes time to become tender.
As soon as u feel, the meat is tender then add coconut paste to it and mix well for 2 min and that’s it really!!!!!

I usually like to hve with rice but its goes very well with chapathis as well
