Indian Lamb Curry with Cucumber-Mint Raita

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pound boneless lamb, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 small onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped cucumber
1/2 cup plain nonfat or low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons finely chopped mint
2 cups cooked white rice

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the lamb, working in batches. Remove from pan.

Heat remaining oil. Saute garlic and onion, stirring, 5 minutes. Stir the
lamb back into the pan; add the curry powder, 1/2 cup water and the salt. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 35 to 40 minutes, until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally.

Meanwhile, make raita by stirring together the cucumber, yogurt, mint and a pinch of salt. Set aside. Spoon the lamb over the cooked rice and top with a spoonful of the raita.
Serves 4.
