Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Nuts

Soak the blanched almonds and cashews in warm water for 30 minutes. Drain and blend to a smooth paste with a little water; set aside.

2. Marinate the Lamb

In a bowl, combine the lamb cubes with yogurt, garlic, ginger, turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well, cover, and marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for best results).

3. Cook the Onions

In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.

4. Brown the Lamb

Add the marinated lamb to the pot with the browned onions. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the lamb is browned on all sides.

5. Add Pureed Tomatoes

Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.

6. Add Nut Paste and Cook

Once the tomato mixture thickens, add the blended nut paste and saffron. Stir well to combine. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes until the lamb is tender.

7. Final Touches

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. If the curry is too thick, add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.

8. Serve

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy with naan or steamed rice.
