- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion finely chopped

- 2.5 cm piece of ginger grated
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 tsp green chili pepper chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp ground coriander

- 1/2 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 200 ml water
- salt to taste

Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they start to splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and start to brown, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and green chili pepper to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and have started to break down.
- Add the ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to toast and release their flavors.
- Add the cubed lamb to the pan and brown it on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk and water. Season with salt to taste. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the pan with a lid and let the curry simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened. You may need to add more water if it gets too dry during cooking.
- About 10 minutes before the curry is done, stir in the garam masala.
- Once the lamb is tender and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the curry from heat.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.Serve your delicious lamb curry with rice or naan bread. Enjoy!
