Servings: 6

Ingredients

Lamb, cubed (2 pounds)
Onion, finely chopped (2 medium)
Garlic, minced (4 cloves)
Ginger, grated (1 tablespoon)
Tomatoes, pureed (2 cups)
Yogurt, plain (1 cup)
Oil (vegetable or ghee) (3 tablespoons)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Garam masala (1 tablespoon)
Cumin powder (1 teaspoon)
Coriander powder (1 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Red chili powder (1 teaspoon)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lamb cubes. Sear the lamb until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the pureed tomatoes, yogurt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cover the pan and let the curry simmer on low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the lamb becomes tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread for a complete meal.
