Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Add lamb cubes in a single layer. Sear 2 minutes without stirring, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until edges brown.
Step 3
Push lamb to the side. Add ginger, garlic, and sliced onion to the empty side. Stir and cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and bay leaves. Stir for 30 seconds until spices coat everything and smell toasted.
Step 5
Add yogurt, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, scraping up browned bits. Cook 8–10 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender and sauce clings to meat.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt. Serve hot with rice or naan.
