I love lamb and curry. Curry dishes are a lot of fun. When preparing this dish, use ceramic bowls and avoid metal utensils. The curry can stain other bowls and the metal utensils can leave a metallic taste in your mouth.

2 lamb shanks, 2 lamb shoulders steaks (yielding about 2 lbs of meat without the bone) Marinade the lamb overnight in the marinade recipe below
2 large onions, chopped
3-5 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp clarified butter or olive oil with butter
