Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb meat in batches until seared on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Add more oil if needed to prevent sticking. Remove lamb and set aside.

02

Step

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Stir in the coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the spices release their fragrant aroma, about 1 minute.

03

Step

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in the beef stock and season with salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently until the lamb is exceptionally tender, around 1 hour.

04

Step

Remove the lid and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and lemon juice just before serving. This adds a creamy tang that complements the rich spices.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the lamb in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of turmeric for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper altogether.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint for a vibrant touch and added freshness. A dollop of raita (yogurt sauce) also makes a wonderful accompaniment.
