Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Add lamb in a single layer. Sear without stirring for 2 minutes until browned, then flip and sear another 90 seconds.
Step 3
Remove lamb to a plate. Add ginger-garlic paste to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste and garam masala, cooking 1 minute until the paste darkens slightly and smells toasty.
Step 5
Return lamb to skillet. Whisk together cream and yogurt, then pour into the pan and stir gently to combine.
Step 6
Simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and lamb is tender throughout.
Step 7
Crush kasuri methi between your palms and scatter over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
