01
Step 1
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, adding a bit more oil if needed, cooking each batch for about 3 minutes until nicely browned on all sides. Once done, set the meat aside.

Step 2
Next, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the same pot. Toss in the onions and cook them gently until they soften and turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around 10 minutes. Then sprinkle in all the spices—coriander, cumin, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne—and stir constantly for about a minute until everything smells amazing.

Step 3
Return the lamb to the pot, pour in the beef stock, and season with salt to taste. Crank the heat up to bring it to a boil, then reduce it to low, cover the pot, and let everything simmer gently for about an hour, or until the lamb is really tender.

Step 4
Once the meat is soft, take off the lid and let the sauce simmer uncovered for another 20 minutes or so, until it thickens up a bit. Right before serving, stir in the yogurt and lemon juice to add a nice creamy tang. Enjoy!
