Instructions

1

2
Heat mustard or vegetable oil till shimmering; add the whole spices and let them crackle till fragrant.
3
Fry the onions till deep brown — properly brown, ten to twelve minutes; this sweetness carries the curry.
4
Add the marinated ground lamb and sear on high, turning, till no pink remains; then add hot water to cover and bring to a simmer.
5
Simmer covered till fork-tender, stirring now and then, then boil open to reduce; finish with the yogurt and garam masala.

Chef's tip

Browning the onions properly is 80 percent of the flavour.
