In a pan add the oil and heat up on medium heat until hot
Add the cloves, whole black peppercorns, cumin seeds and sauté on high heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
Add the finely diced onions then cook for 4-5 minutes on medium heat until softened and lightly browned
Add the lamb and cook for 15 minutes on medium heat until the lamb has slightly browned and released some water
Add the ginger paste, garlic paste then cook for a further 2-3 minutes
Add the salt, Kashmiri chilli powder, black pepper, turmeric powder then cook the spices for 4-5 minutes ensuring that you stir every now and then so the spices do not stick to the pan or burn
Add the water and mix into the lamb masala – push the lamb below the water to ensure the lamb cooks through
Cover with a lid and cook on medium heat for 45 minutes – do not keep checking or lifting the lid as this will release the heat and steam that has built up which will increase the cooking time
Add the yoghurt and cook for a further 4-5 minutes
Add the garam masala, finely chopped chillies and cook for 1-2 minutes – if you would like to reduce the heat you can remove the seeds from the green chillies
Garnish with the finely chopped coriander then serve immediately with a side of fresh naan and enjoy!
