Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Lamb shoulder, boneless
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Large onion, finely chopped
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Beef or lamb stock
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 cups Cooked basmati rice, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lamb shoulder into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper. Cook the spices for 2 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and lamb stock to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Introduce the lamb cubes into the mixture and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the curry simmer gently for about 90-120 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 8

Stir in the Greek yogurt and cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered, allowing the curry to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Check for seasoning and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot over cooked basmati rice.
