Lamb Ghee Roast - Succulent chunks of premium Australian lamb are braised for three hours in a flavor-packed broth, then infused with the richness of ghee (clarified butter) and fragrant spices like cinnamon, mace, and star anise. What sets this dish apart is the ghee itself—a golden elixir revered in Indian cuisine, known for its nutty aroma, smooth texture, and healthful benefits.

Ghee isn’t just a cooking fat; it’s a transformative ingredient. Its slow preparation removes milk solids, making it lactose-free while preserving all the buttery richness. Here, it works double duty: delicately caramelizing onions to unlock their natural sweetness and coating each morsel of lamb with its velvety depth, creating a dish that is as indulgent as it is aromatic.

This marriage of tender lamb, Indian masalas, and the unmistakable magic of ghee offers a soul-satisfying experience, perfect for those with a taste for tradition and a sensitivity to dairy. A true celebration of Indian culinary artistry.
