Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb

    Cut the lamb shoulder into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

  3. 3

    Prepare Spices

    In a small bowl, combine ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Onions

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Spices

    Add the spice mixture to the pot, stirring well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices are aromatic.

  4. 7

    Add Lamb

    Add the cubed lamb to the pot. Stir well to coat the meat with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the lamb is browned on all sides.

  5. 8

    Add Tomatoes and Water

    Stir in the pureed tomatoes and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender.

  6. 9

    Season and Garnish

    Once the lamb is tender, season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
