I don?t get to cook Indian as much as I?d like, in fairness to the missis. So when I do, I really, really look forward to it. Having had good results making base with my Instant Pot, and also not-too-bad butter chicken, I sought out a lamb dish. Picked up a couple of beautiful lamb shanks and gave this a whirl.

The marinade seemed to have the right ingredients although I should?ve probably been a bit concerned about the finishing part. Just adding tomato paste and garam masala? Really?
But I gave it a go. Rubbish. I gave it a taste in the latter stages and it was just crap. Added a little kasuri methi but at this point, adding powdered spices would achieve nothing. Pulled a portion of frozen hotel style base from the freezer and put half of that in and it helped a bit.
The missis thought it was tasty but I feel robbed of my curry night. The only silver lining is that I now know how long to cook lamb shanks in the Instant Pot so they?re fall-off-the-bone done.

Sorry to learn about your disaster, Robbo, but just one question if I may ? Where you write :
I should've probably been a bit concerned about the finishing part. Just adding tomato paste and garam masala? Really?
I assume that you also followed the instructions at that point :
Select the high Saut

Hey Phil
I followed the instructions to the letter. When that saut? step did nothing to help the taste of the dish, I tried the methi first, then just relented and added a little base.
Very disappointing. Mind you, still love my Instant Pot. Superb little device and I just ordered a lid attachment that turns it to an air fryer. Hope to knock out samosas soon.

I think I will cook a giant omelette with what remains, adding kala namak to counter the 'not quite right' elements ...

FTFY :cool:
That lamb sounds so unlucky though. Especially as, by the sound of it, it only went wrong so close to the end!
(Phil: suggested soundtrack: "I am the walrus". Because he was the Eggman too!)
