My review
Rogan Josh, Lamb Shanks
Hans Speek
"This lamb shank recipe was initially given to me as a family favorite from a work buddy. I've prepared it in a slow cooker and made it as easy as possible to prepare. It has a fantastic flavour and the meat just falls off the bone. I have made this in the oven as well and doubled the quantities for 4 people and it tasted just as good, only everybody went in for seconds and there were no leftovers."

Ready In
- Stir the sour cream and all-purpose flour together in a small bowl until smooth and set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to make a paste.
- Combine the chili powder, coriander, ginger, bouillon cubes, cardamom, tomatoes, water, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Slowly add the cornstarch paste to the tomato mixture, stirring constantly; simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stir in the sour cream and flour mixture.
- Arrange the onions across the bottom of a slow cooker, lay the shanks on top of the onions and pour the prepared tomato mixture over the meat. Place the carrots, potatoes and mushrooms on top of the sauce.
- Cover and cook in the slow cooker on High for 8 hours.
Footnotes
- If cooking in the oven, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a covered dish for 2 1/2 hours.
- Easy Cleanup
- Try using a liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup.

Just a tip(s) for the person who thought the lamb was too greasy. --Brown the lamb shanks well before placing in tomato mixture. Browning helps melt excess fat and enhances the flavor. --When d...

Confession: I gathered most of the ingredients for this at the grocery store before I arrived at the lamb section and balked at the prices (yes, I'm a lamb newbie). So, I made the recipe with 12...

After scanning this recipe I made changes according to what I had in the fridge (no carrots and no mushrooms). I have to say, this meal tastes fantastic. I think it's because of the spice combi...

This is an awsome recipe. My 9 year old even loved it. Tasted a lot like beef stew. No "gamey" lamb flavor to it. I used fresh red new potatoes and baby carrots. I also substituted the whole car...

Very tender meat and savory sauce. I am sensitive to all milk products so I used non-dairy 'sour cream.'

Does this really take 8 hours on HIGH? That's about twice as long as most recipes for lamb shanks, isn't it? Was this an error and it should be 8 hours on LOW? Hope so.
