1
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
2
Add the Lamb
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lamb cubes to the pot. Sear the lamb on all sides until browned, about 5-8 minutes.
3
Incorporate the Spices
Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt to the pot. Stir well to coat the lamb and cook for another 2-3 minutes to toast the spices.
4
Add Tomato and Coconut
Pour in the tomato puree and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5
Simmer the Curry
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the curry simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
6
Finish and Serve
Once the lamb is tender, adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro over rice or with naan bread.
