• Heat the ghee in a large ovenproof casserole.
• Cover the lamb with turmeric and brown on all sides in the casserole.
• Pour in the curry base sauce, stir and cover with a lid.
• Simmer on low heat until the meat is cooked and tender. In this case, it took about 90 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
• Fry the cinnamon and cardamom until their aromas are released.
• Add the garlic and ginger and gently fry everything for 2 minutes.
• Pour the cooked lamb and its sauce into the pan and stir.
• Add the sugar, almonds and coconut to the curry.

• Pour in the cream and garam masala. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice, naan and your favourite Indian side dishes.

LAMB KHORMA

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.
