A Flavorful Twist: Lamb Curry with DHOL Shahi Paneer Spice Mix
If you've ever browsed the non-vegetarian menu at an Indian restaurant, you’ve likely noticed the tempting array of lamb dishes—from sizzling tandoori lamb chops to rich and hearty curries. Among these, the beloved Rogan Josh stands out, showcasing tender, slow-cooked lamb shoulder in a medley of aromatic spices.
But what if you could bring those restaurant-quality flavors into your own kitchen with a unique twist?
A Bold Take on Lamb Curry
In this recipe, we swap tradition for innovation by pairing succulent lamb chops with the DHOL Shahi Paneer spice mix. The blend’s rich, earthy, and robust notes create a dish that feels both comforting and indulgent—perfect for impressing guests or elevating a cozy night in.
And if lamb chops aren’t your go-to, don’t worry! This recipe is incredibly versatile:
- Bone-in lamb shoulder
- Leg of lamb
- Lamb shanks
All work beautifully with the Shahi Paneer spice blend, allowing you to customize the dish to suit your preferences or what’s available at your local market.
Choosing the Right Cut of Lamb
Not all lamb cuts are created equal, especially when it comes to curry dishes. For a dish that melts in your mouth, consider using:
- Lamb shoulder: Ideal for stews, needing a bit of extra cooking to break down its toughness.
- Lamb leg: Offers a leaner cut with a shorter cooking time.
- Lamb shanks: Perfect for those who enjoy rich, marrow-infused flavors.
If you prefer a gamey flavor, don’t shy away from trying different cuts. The DHOL Shahi Paneer spice mix provides a bold balance, complementing even the strongest lamb flavors.
The Secret Ingredient: Ghee
A key to this recipe’s richness is ghee, a clarified butter with a deep, nutty aroma. I add ghee at the beginning and midway through cooking, building layers of flavor and delivering a buttery richness that sets Indian curries apart.
For a vegan twist, feel free to swap ghee for plant-based oils—the DHOL Shahi Paneer mix adapts beautifully to all kinds of culinary creativity.
How to Make Lamb Curry with DHOL Shahi Paneer Spice Mix

Method:

- Prepare the sauce: Continue with the recipe by adding the prepared puree to the pan, letting it simmer and absorb the spices' depth.
- Finish with the lamb: Gently return the seared lamb chops to the pan towards the end of cooking. This method keeps the lamb juicy and tender while allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
