Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly golden, about 4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in ginger-garlic paste and garam masala. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add lamb pieces and stir to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lamb is just cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and stir in yogurt until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Warm bread in a toaster or dry skillet if desired. Serve curry hot with bread on the side for scooping.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch skillet or large saucepan
