Instructions

 

1. **Marinate the Lamb:**

   - In a large bowl, combine the lamb pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight in the fridge).

4. **Add Spices:**

   - Add coriander powder, cumin powder, and mix well. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant.

 

5. **Add Marinated Lamb:**

   - Add the marinated lamb to the pot. Cook on high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the meat is browned.

 

6. **Simmer the Curry:**

   - Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary.

 

7. **Finish with Garam Masala:**

   - Once the lamb is cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the curry. Stir well and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
