Step 1
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

Add diced lamb, working in batches if needed. Sear without stirring until edges brown, ~3 minutes per side.

Remove lamb to a plate. Add diced onions to the same pan, cook stirring until softened and starting to brown, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds. Don't let it burn.
Step 5
Pour in crushed tomatoes, garam masala, kasuri methi, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Step 6
Return lamb to pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered until lamb is tender, ~8 minutes.
