Instructions

  • Begin by marinating the lamb pieces in a mixture of yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, and salt for at least an hour to enhance the flavors.
  • In a pan, heat oil and add crushed cardamom pods to release their aroma. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
  • Stir in crushed garlic and ginger, followed by diced tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes break down and form a thick paste.
  • Add the marinated lamb pieces to the pan and sear them until they are browned on all sides.
  • Pour in water or broth to cover the lamb pieces, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until the meat is tender.
  • Finish the dish by adding cream to create a luscious, creamy texture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and chili powder to taste.
