Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Cut the lamb meat into small cubes.
   • Blend 2 chopped onions, garlic, and ginger in a blender with a little water until smooth.

2. Cooking:

   • Heat ghee in a saucepan over medium heat.
   • Add one chopped onion and fry until it turns pale golden in color.
   • Add crushed spices (black peppercorns, green cardamoms, cloves), salt, and lamb cubes.
   • Fry for about 8 minutes or until the lamb turns a rich brown color.
   • Pour in the blended mixture and continue frying for another 10 minutes.
   • Add chili powder, coriander powder, and yoghurt. Fry until the ghee starts to separate.
   • Now, add water, mix well, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for one hour. This allows the meat to become tender and the sauce to thicken to perfection.

3. Serving:

   • Once the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove from heat.
   • Sprinkle freshly chopped green coriander leaves on top.
   • Lamb Korma pairs wonderfully with roti, naan, or steamed rice.
