How to cook it
- Toss lamb cubes with the curry paste and 1 tsp salt; marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better).
- Heat ghee in a heavy casserole over medium-high heat.
- Sear the lamb in batches until well browned; remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, soften onions for 6–7 minutes, then add garlic and ginger for another minute.
- Return the lamb, add tomatoes, stock, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise on the lowest heat for 75–90 minutes until the lamb is fork-tender.
- Uncover for the final 10 minutes if you prefer a thicker sauce. Check seasoning.
- Serve with Maharajah's Choice Basmati rice and a swirl of yoghurt.
Chef’s note
Lamb shoulder works best for slow braising. For a hotter result, add fresh red chilli with the onions.
