My fondest memory of rain is of this one particular season when as a rebellious adolescent, I snuck out of my Mom’s watchful eyes and armed with a bright pink umbrella, tip-toed into our terrace. Terraces are a wonderful gift of many classic Indian houses. With the open space perfect for sun drying large bulks of laundry, it’s also a wonderful go-to for those lovely late-night parties with an open feel. Children and adults alike can easily be spotted lazying on cool mats, soaking in the warm sun on fresh spring and summer days. A boon, those open terraces, especially for people like me who love to escape with a bright pink umbrella on a rainy day, if only to dance. And dance did I! That day brings with it fond memories of me being soaked despite the umbrella, of Mom catching me doing my jig in the rain and pulling me back into the warmth of our living room. I clearly remember, as well, the aromatic Lamb Curry laid out on the dining table ready to be gorged on. It’s funny how every fond memory I have of my childhood always has some connection to food. But what’s even more surprising is my craving for particular food at any given time, like this Instant Pot Lamb Curry today. And as I write this post looking out the window at the rain, I can’t help but feel the warmth embrace me through the aroma coming from my kitchen. Yes, it’s almost lunchtime, and I hear my plate calling. If you enjoyed this recipe, you will certainly love my Mutton Curry and Spiced Lamb with Green Peppers as well. Tried this recipe?
