Instructions

Step 1
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, making sure each piece gets a nice sear all around—this should take about 3 minutes per batch. If needed, add a little more oil as you go. Once browned, set the lamb aside.

Next, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot and turn the heat down to medium. Toss in the onions and cook them slowly, stirring now and then, until they’re soft and golden brown—this usually takes about 10 minutes.

Step 3
Now it’s time for the spices. Stir in the coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Keep everything moving for about a minute until the spices release their lovely aroma.

Return the lamb to the pot and pour in the beef stock. Season with salt to your liking. Bring everything up to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for around an hour, or until the lamb is super tender.

Step 5
When the lamb is ready, take off the lid and let the sauce cook down for about 20 minutes so it thickens a bit. Finally, stir in the yogurt and lemon juice just before serving to add a nice creamy tang.
