Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 1/2 lb boneless lamb leg, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Salt as needed
Ground white pepper as needed
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
2 tbsp minced ginger root
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp ground cardamom
12 oz cashew nuts
1/4 cup ghee (see tips, below) or canola oil
3 cups small-dice yellow onion
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground fennel
2 tbsp ground coriander
6 Thai bird chiles, chopped, or to taste
1/3 cup chopped cilantro stems
1 cup heavy cream
Salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 cup pan-roasted cashews (see, tips below)

Steps:

  • 1. Trim the lamb and cut it into large pieces. Season with salt and pepper and put in a bowl. Add the yogurt, 1 tbsp ginger, the garlic, and cardamom. Stir or toss until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the lamb is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.
  • 2. Put the cashews in a small bowl and add enough hot water to cover them. Let the cashews soak for 30 minutes and then drain. Grind the drained cashews to a coarse paste in a food processor. Set aside.
  • 3. Heat the ghee or oil in a casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and sauté until transparent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cumin, cardamom, fennel, the remaining ginger, and the coriander. Cook, stirring often until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the chiles, cilantro stems, and cashew paste and stir well to be sure that nothing is sticking. Sauté, stirring frequently and adding water a tablespoon at a time if necessary, until the mixture is very aromatic, about 2 minutes.
  • 4. Add the lamb and the yogurt marinade, increase the heat, and stir until the pieces are evenly coated. Once the meat's juices begin to flow, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer very slowly, stirring occasionally, until the meat is nearly tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 5. Add the cream and continue to simmer until the curry is flavorful and thickened and the lamb is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, or chopped bird chile. Serve garnished with the cilantro leaves and cashews.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds lamb trimmed of fat (about 4 cups cut into 1-inch cubes)
6 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup sour cream
3 cups thinly sliced onion
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2-inch piece cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves
4 cardamom pods, crushed lightly to break pods
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely ground with a mortar and pestle
1/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup water, or more as needed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Marinate lamb in mixture of ground spices and sour cream for 30 minutes. In a Dutch oven or flameproof casserole over medium-high heat, fry onion in mixture of oil and butter until edges are nicely browned. Add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, garlic and ginger and continue frying for 1 or 2 minutes until onion turns medium brown. Add marinated lamb to onion mixture and stir over medium to medium-high heat until sour cream disappears and lamb is no longer pink on the outside, about 2 minutes.

Uncover and simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes to thicken sauce, adding more water if sauce is too thick. At this point the meat and sauce should have darkened somewhat. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat. Taste and add salt if needed.
