Steps

  1. 1

    Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke, then reduce heat. Add whole spices (cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf) and sauté until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add grated fresh ginger and garlic paste, sauté for 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

  4. 4

    Stir in Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder, ground fennel seeds, dried ginger powder, and mace powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  5. 5

    Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate.

  6. 6

    Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in the yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent curdling. Cook for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Add the lamb cubes and sear them until browned on all sides.

  8. 8

    Add salt and enough water to cover the lamb. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly.

  9. 9

    Cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Stir occasionally and add water if the gravy becomes too thick.

  10. 10

    Adjust seasoning. Garnish with toasted slivered almonds and fresh mint leaves before serving.
