After watching one of the most tear jerking movies ever...Lion, staring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman, I became fascinated with Indian cuisine. I've been to some elegant Indian restaurants in New York City, but most Indian food looks like a pile of canned dog food slapped on a pile of yellow rice. Presentation really is everything. The decision was made to buy some common Indian Spices, delve into the cuisine and make it as attractive as possible.
First, I found a simple YT video about how to make Lamb Shanks. Lamb isn't a popular protein in the United States. Americans' tend to prefer chicken, pork, turkey, and beef. I found the video below, and then thought how I could make it into an Indian lamb shank. Objective One: must taste Indian Objective Two: It can't look like a pile of goop.
