Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or heavy bottom skillet, add the oil, ghee, and whole spices.Pro tip - if possible use a Dutch oven as it retains heat evenly and will cook without losing too much liquid. if not, use a heavy bottom skillet with a tight lid.
- Then, add onions and saute until caramelized, almost brown - about 10 minutes (see video).Pro tip - depending on the heat it may take 10 to 15 minutes to caramelize the onions. Do not cook on high as it will burn the onions not caramelize.
- Next, add the ginger and garlic - saute for another minute. Add the lamb pieces, saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the lamb is no longer pink.Pro tip - ginger and garlic can burn easily so keep the heat on medium. Then turn the heat a little higher to sear the lamb on all sides.
- Then, add the ground spices and chopped tomatoes. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Next, add the yogurt. Combine it then add 1/2 cup water. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.Pro tip - stir the yogurt separately in a small bowl to ensure there are no lumps before you add it to the lamb otherwise you will have lumps in the curry.
- Continue to simmer it on the stovetop on medium-low heat stirring frequently until meat is cooked through and becomes fork-tender - about 1 to 1 ½ hour adding water if necessary. Pro tip - Always ensure you have enough water so the meat has enough moisture to cook. If necessary add ¼ to ½ cup more.
- When cooked to fork-tender, taste and adjust seasoning. Adjust gravy by adding a bit more water depending on how you going to serve it.Pro tip - If you serve it with chapati, naan, or roti - keep it thick. If you serve with rice, add a little water to make a gravy.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality lamb: The quality of the lamb will greatly impact the flavor of the curry. Look for lamb that is fresh and has a good amount of marbling.
- Brown the lamb before cooking: Browning the lamb in a hot skillet before adding it to the curry will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is one of the most important ingredients in the curry, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and fenugreek.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: The amount of spices in the curry can be adjusted to your liking. If you like a spicy curry, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of spices.
- Serve with rice or naan: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. Rice is a good option for soaking up the curry sauce, while naan is a good option for dipping into the sauce.
Conclusion:
This Kaypee's Homemade Indian Lamb Masala Curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. Serve it with rice or naan for a complete meal.
