Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Add lamb in a single layer. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes until browned, then flip and sear another 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Remove lamb to a plate. Add ginger-garlic paste to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in tomato paste and garam masala, cooking 1 minute until the paste darkens slightly and smells toasty.

  5. Step 5

    Return lamb to skillet. Whisk together cream and yogurt, then pour into the pan and stir gently to combine.

  6. Step 6

    Simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and lamb is tender throughout.

  7. Step 7

    Crush kasuri methi between your palms and scatter over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
