Time 4h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

¾ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon garlic paste, divided
1 teaspoon ginger paste, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon turmeric, divided
1 pound cubed lamb stew meat
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
3 cardamom pods
3 whole cloves, or more to taste
3 whole black peppercorns, or more to taste
2 dried bay leaves
2 red onions, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
½ teaspoon red chile pepper powder
½ cup water, or more if needed
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste, 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric in a bowl. Add lamb meat and stir to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Heat oil in a large pan. Add cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Cook and stir until leaves begin to sizzle and fragrance is released, about 1 minute. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until you see oil in the corner of the pan, 5 to 10 minutes. Add remaining garlic paste and ginger paste and stir for about 1 minute. Add remaining turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, and red chile powder and stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove lamb from marinade and add to the pan with the onion mixture. Add water and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook over medium heat until lamb is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally so that curry does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Add more water to thin if necessary.
  • Season with garam masala and cook 1 minute more. Garnish with cilantro.
