    Spice of life

    Dec 05, 2021 5 minutes

    At the heart of India’s fascinating culinary heritage are piquant dishes that are steeped in history, be they simple dals or intricate biryanis. There are many different cooking styles, vibrant flavour combinations and textural medleys that make up this aromatic and sense-enlivening food culture.

    Take, for example, this hot and spicy dish made with lamb ribs. The glaze has the consistency of a reduced sauce, making it stick to the meat for an unctuous and finger-licking meal. Suckling pork spareribs work equally well, but the cooking time may need a slight adjustment. Ask your butcher to cut the lamb ribs into single pieces.

    HOT AND SPICY LAMB RIBS

    1 tbsp ground coriander
    ½ tsp garam masala
    2 tsp ground ginger
    2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    1 tsp ground fennel
    1 tsp hot chilli
