Lamb is a traditional food served at Easter. This recipe swaps out the usual roast leg of lamb for boneless lamb simmered in a rich curry sauce.

NUT MASALA
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped
1 piece (2 inch size) ginger root, grated
3 ounces unsalted cashews
1/4 cup boiling water
MAIN DISH
2 tablespoons garam masala (store bought)
2 pounds boneless leg of lamb
1/4 cup canola oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 dried red chilies
OR
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 piece (1 inch size) ginger root, grated
1 small clump cilantro, chopped
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup water
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Masala: Heat oil on medium heat in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven and dump in all the spices. Brown, but don't burn.
Just when the spices seem like they're going to burn, add the garlic and ginger, turn off the oven, and cook until everything seems to cool.
Then, add to a blender or food processor, add your nuts and boiling water and make a paste. This is really easier and much quicker than it sounds.
For Lamb: Dry the meat off well and cut into 2-inch cubes. Heat the oil and brown the lamb until each side is done. Then add the onion and cook until its soft.
Add both masalas, chili pepper, and ginger. Cook for a few more minutes. Finally, add everything else, then cover and simmer for about an hour.
Add the lemon juice and stir only right before you are about to serve this.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
