How to make it
- Method
- Prepare Lamb
- 1. Wash and rinse Lamb.
- 2. Add Lamb and water and bring to a near boil, Turn down the heat as soon as you see tiny air bubbles start rising to the surface in abundance, You do not want lamb to be in boiling water to prevent it from toughening. Cook at low simmer for 10 minutes. Drain out water. The purpose is not to cook the lamb. Lamb will be fully cooked later with Masala.
- Nut Paste
- Use a food processor and large heavy cast iron skillet for this part.
- 1. Add Garlic and Ginger to Food Processor and Process in Pulse mode.
- 2. Add Tomatoes to the food processor and process smooth, set this aside in the food processor.
- 3. Heat the Ghee in cast iron pot, I use a 4 quart Lodge cast iron with cover.
- 4. Add the cashews and fry till lightly brown, remove cashews with a slotted spoon and add to the food processor and quick pulse till blended.
- 5. Add the Charoli nuts and fry till lightly browned, remove the Charoli nuts with a slotted spoon and add to the food processor and process.

- Finish Sauce
- 1. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside in the mixing bowl.
