CURRIED OXTAIL

Ingredients

3 lbs oxtail

2 tbsp fresh green seasoning

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 pimentos, chopped

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp amchar masala

1 tsp pepper sauce

1 medium onion, sliced

1 ½ tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

Few dashes Worcestershire sauce

2 limes

2 heaping tbsp curry powder

1 tsp amchar masala

1 tsp geera powder

Small piece hot pepper, optional

2 – 3 whole clove garlic

2 tsp oil

Directions

1. Clean and wash meat in a mixture of water and juice of 1 lime. Set aside in a bowl.
2. Squeeze the juice of the other lime over the meat. Season meat with green seasoning, chopped garlic cloves, pimento peppers, salt, black pepper, curry powder, amchar masala and pepper sauce. Mix well ensuring the seasoning is well incorporated into the meat. Let marinate for at least 1 - 2 hours or overnight.
3. Heat oil in a large pot over medium- high heat. Add the remaining whole garlic cloves and let burn in the oil until black.
4. Mix the curry powder, geera and amchar masala with enough water to form a paste. Add mixture to the hot oil, stirring quickly for a while to allow the curry to cook.
5. Add the meat and let cook in the curry for approximately 5 minutes. Add the geera powder and mix.
6. Add approximately 1½ - 2 cups water (enough to cover) to the meat and leave to cook for 1½
   – 2 hrs or until the meat is tender. You may need to add some more water during the cooking process.
   
7. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
