Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat lamb dry, then add to the pan in a single layer.
Step 2
Sear lamb 2 minutes without stirring until edges brown, then flip and cook 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, cook onion for 2 minutes until edges begin to soften. Add garam masala and turmeric, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Return lamb to the skillet. Stir in yogurt until the meat is coated, then add cooked rice and fold until combined, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with cilantro and extra onion.
