Instructions
  1. Begin by marinating the lamb pieces in a mixture of yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, and salt for at least an hour to enhance the flavors.
  2. In a pan, heat oil and add crushed cardamom pods to release their aroma. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
  3. Stir in crushed garlic and ginger, followed by diced tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes break down and form a thick paste.
  4. Add the marinated lamb pieces to the pan and sear them until they are browned on all sides.
  5. Pour in water or broth to cover the lamb pieces, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until the meat is tender.
  6. Finish the dish by adding cream to create a luscious, creamy texture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and chili powder to taste.
