Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 1 hr + marinating
- Make the marinade by mixing the yoghurt, ginger and garlic purée, 1 tbsp salt, chilli, cumin and turmeric. Add the lamb pieces and mix. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Put 50ml of the oil in a pan over a medium heat and add the cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. After a minute add sliced onions and fry until golden brown. This will take 12-15 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic purée and fry for about 3 minutes. Then add the marinated lamb (having brought it to room temperature) and fry on a low heat for 10-15 minutes.
- Now put in the chilli powder, stir well and add the tomato purée. Fry for a couple of minutes. Add the garam masala. If the mixture is too dry add a little water, and cook covered until the lamb is done. When it is almost done add a little more water (if it needs it) to make a sauce. Add the lemon juice and check for seasoning.
- To finish the dish, heat the remaining oil in a tiny frying pan or saucepan. When it is hot add the crushed coriander seeds, and let it fry for a minute till they turn light brown. Pour over the curry: the infusion of coriander oil gives a lovely flavour to the dish.
