Kashmiri Curry

At India's northern tip lies the cold and rugged Kashmir region. The curries here rely on the warmth of aromatic spicing, and often include an extra measure of cinnamon and cardamom as we've done here.  The bold, aromatic flavors of Kashmiri curry work well with meat—lamb being a favorite. Both ground almonds and yogurt are used as thickeners and dried apricots are frequently included in traditional preparations. This blend also makes a lovely seasoning on sweet potato dishes.
