Hey food lovers!

Welcome back to another delicious adventure in my suburban kitchen, where we’re all about diving into vibrant flavors while keeping things healthy and doable. Today, I’m beyond excited to share with you a dish that has been a star player in my “Healthy Food Recipes” collection: Bengali Lamb Curry with Mustard Seeds. Trust me, this curry is going to knock your socks off with its unique blend of spices and mouth-watering aromas.

A little backstory: the first time I tried Bengali Lamb Curry, I was hooked. The subtle heat from mustard seeds combined with tender lamb—it was pure magic. I’ve tweaked and tested the recipe to make it both healthier and simpler to whip up at home. So whether you’re hosting a dinner party or just want to treat yourself, this one’s a winner!

### Ingredients
Before we dive in, let’s make sure you have what you need:

– 500g lamb, cut into cubes (try to choose lean cuts for a healthier option)
– 2 tablespoons mustard seeds
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 2 tomatoes, chopped
– 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (try Greek yogurt for creaminess)
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (a healthier choice)
– Salt to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish

### Let’s Get Cooking!

**Step 1: Toast those Seeds.**
First things first, let’s bring those mustard seeds to life. In a dry pan, heat them over medium heat until they begin to pop. Seriously, it’s like they’re announcing the start of something delicious.

**Step 2: Brown the Lamb.**
In a large pan, add one tablespoon of olive oil and toss in your lamb cubes. You’ll want them to brown nicely. This step locks in flavor, so don’t skip it!

**Step 3: Begin the Aromatic Symphony.**
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onions until they’re golden. Toss in the garlic and ginger, and just breathe in that heavenly aroma for a second—it’s part of the magic that makes Healthy Food Recipes so irresistible.

**Step 4: Spice it Up.**
Add turmeric, ground cumin, and chili powder to the onion mixture. Stir for a minute until your kitchen smells like a spice bazaar.

**Step 5: Layer in the Flavor.**
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, yogurt, and browned lamb. Mix everything well, ensuring that the lamb gets coated with the lush sauce.

**Step 6: Cook Slowly, with Love.**
Add half a cup of water, cover your pan, and let it simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes. Occasionally stir it and do a quick taste-test to see if it needs more salt or heat. If it’s too thick, don’t worry—just add a splash more water.

**Step 7: Garnish and Serve.**
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for that extra pop of green and serve with steaming rice or your favorite flatbread. If your mouth isn’t watering yet, you might want to check your pulse!

### Tips for Success:
– **Lean Cuts, Happy Heart**: Opt for shoulder or leg cuts of lamb, trimming off excess fat to keep this meal light and heart-healthy.
– **Yogurt Magic**: The yogurt not only adds creaminess but is a great tenderizer for the lamb—talk about multitasking!
– **Spice Play**: Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste. More chili for heat lovers, less for those who fancy a milder dish.
