Step 1
Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed 5-quart pot over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, sear lamb 2-3 minutes per side without stirring until golden brown.
Step 4
Transfer all lamb to a plate. Reduce heat to medium.
Step 5
Add onions to the same pot, scraping up browned bits. Cook 8-10 minutes until deeply golden.
Step 6
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Add coriander, cumin, turmeric, and chili powder. Stir constantly for 30 seconds.
Step 8
Add tomatoes and yogurt. Stir well to combine, breaking up tomato pieces.
Step 9
Return lamb to the pot. Stir to coat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 10
Cover and simmer 25-30 minutes, stirring every 8 minutes, until lamb is very tender.
Step 11
Uncover and increase heat to medium. Cook 3-5 minutes until sauce reduces to a thick, clingy glaze.
Step 12
Taste and adjust salt and spice. Serve hot with rice or naan.
