Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder cut into cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups onions finely chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 cup yogurt whisked
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Garnish

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

1 Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
2 Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3 Mix in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, and Kashmiri chili powder. Stir for about 1 minute to release the spices' aromas.
4 Add the lamb cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5 Stir in the tomato paste, whisked yogurt, and salt. Mix well to coat the lamb in the sauce.
6 Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.
7 Check for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary. Continue to simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
8 Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
