2 Medium sized Onions, 3 Small tomatoes, 6-7 Garlic cloves, 2 long green chillies, 2-3 inch ginger
To make thick gravy you can use 1 small/medium potato. Many prefer to use corn-starch but this may spoil the taste of Lamb curry.

If you prefer to use potato then wash, peal and dice it into small pieces.

How to make Lamb Curry

Take Vegetable oil in a deep pan or pressure cooker. Once the oil is hot, add whole red chillies, black cardamom, whole black pepper, bay leaves, cloves and cinnamon sticks.
4 tbsp Vegetable Oil, 2 Whole Red Chillies, 3 - 4 Bay leaves, 1 Whole Black Cardamom, 3 - 4 Cloves, 7 - 8 Whole Black Pepper, 1/2 Cinnamon Stick
Saute them for 30 sec and add pinch of Asafoetida (as per taste) to it. Add chopped onions to it and saute them until onions turn golden brown in colour.
Pinch of Asafoetida, 2 Medium sized Onions
Now add chopped green chillies, garlic cloves and grated or diced ginger to it. Take care that the quantity of garlic and ginger is in equal proportion. Saute them for few minutes.
6-7 Garlic cloves, 2 long green chillies, 2-3 inch ginger
Now add chopped tomatoes and cook it until they become soft and meshed. If required add 1/4 cup of water to cook. If required cover it with a lid to speed up the process. If you are going to add potatoes, now is the time to add them.
3 Small tomatoes, 1 small Potato
Add all spices to the gravy mixture and cook it for two minutes. Add 2 - 3 cups of water and let it cook for 5 minutes.
1.5 tsp Salt, 2.5 tsp Red chillies powder, 1.5 tsp Turmeric, 2.5 tsp Meat Masala, 2 tsp Garam Masala, 2 tsp Coriander Powder
Now add diced lamb pieces to the gravy and add Kasoori methi on top of it. Stir it and let it cook for 5 minutes. Add 2-3 cups water to it.
600 g Diced Lamb, 2 tsp Kasoori Methi
Close the pressure cooker and let it take 3 - 4 whistles on high flame and 3 - 4 whistle on low flame. Number of whistles may vary between pressure cooker brands so this you may have to experiment with yours.
Now turn down the flame and let the cooker release pressure gradually.
By this time the lamb pieces should be soft and ready to eat.
Your tasty Lamb curry is ready to be served. Garnish it with chopped Coriander leaves and top it up with some Clarified butter and serve with Steamed rice (preferably Basmati Rice).
Few Coriander leaves
If you do not have Clarified butter, then top it up with Unsalted butter.

Notes

Few considerations while cooking and serving Lamb Curry -

If you want to make much thicker gravy, you can use Corn starch but we prefer to use potato.
You can use salted/unsalted butter instead of Clarified butter.
To get best authentic flavour do not scale down on the spices. The more the better it tastes.
We used M.D.H Meat Masala for best flavour. You can use any other Meat Masala available at the store.
If you do not have pressure cooker, you can use a deep pan with lid to cook the lamb curry. It may take slightly more time 15 mins more or so to cook the dish.
If you have time, the best way to prepare lamb curry is by slow cooking in a deep pan with lid
Lamb curry requires good amount of onion, garlic and ginger as these are the main ingredients to make gravy.
