Ingredients

3 pounds lamb shank (cut into large chunks)
2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste (1 tablespoon ginger and 1 tablespoon garlic, mashed into a fine paste)
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (we're not sure what kind of chili powder we used, but it wasn't as spicy as the regular old McCormick stuff. Use your own taste preferences to determine how much chili you'd like to use)
2 medium onions (chopped)
2 tomatoes (chopped)
2 red chilis (finely chopped or mashed into a paste)
1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
1 cinnamon stick
5 cloves
2 bay leaves
water
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the lamb, ginger garlic paste, and chili powder. Mix well and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
In a large pot, brown the lamb. Add the onions, tomatoes, and chilis, and cook for a few minutes, until the vegetables start to cook down. Add the garam masala, salt, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves. Mix well. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 90 minutes to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
While that's happening, toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan over low heat until golden brown. When the meat is tender, stir the coconut flakes into the curry. Serve!
