Steps

  1. Wash and dry the meat, then cut it into approximately 2.5 cm cubes.

  2. Peel the onion and garlic, finely chop or blend them, and mix with ginger. Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut into pieces.

  3. Wash the tomatoes. Place a pot of water on the stove, wait for it to boil, then dip the tomatoes in for 10 seconds. Peel the blanched tomatoes and chop them.

  4. Heat ghee in a large and deep pan, then fry the paste made from onion, garlic, and ginger. Fry and stir constantly until the paste turns golden brown. Add coriander, cumin, chili, garam masala, and fry while stirring for another 1 to 2 minutes. Salt to taste, then add the meat and fry for a few minutes. Stir the meat to brown it on all sides. Add yogurt, mix, and cook for another minute. Pour in water, wait for it to boil, then reduce the heat. Cover the pan and simmer the dish for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  5. Finally, add the tomatoes and potatoes and mix everything well. Cover the pan and simmer the dish for another 25 to 30 minutes. The meat should be tender, and the sauce slightly thick. Serve the lamb curry on plates with boiled rice or Indian naan bread.
