Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup whole milk yogurt
½ cup almonds
¼ cup ghee (clarified butter)
3 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 pound boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste
1 cup water
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground mace
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more to taste
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Blend yogurt and almonds together in a food processor or blender until a smooth, creamy paste forms.
  • Heat a large, wide-bottomed pan over medium heat; add ghee and allow to melt. Cook and stir yellow onions in the hot ghee until evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add lamb; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned, about 6 minutes. Mix cayenne pepper and salt into lamb mixture; cook for 2 minutes.
  • Stir yogurt-almond paste into lamb mixture; add water. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until meat is very tender, 2 to 3 hours. Stir garam masala, cardamom, and mace into lamb korma and simmer for 10 minutes more.
  • Mix red onions and cilantro together in a bowl; add lemon juice and salt and mix well. Serve salad alongside lamb korma.
