How to Make Bhoona Gosht

1. Trim fat from 1 lb (450g) lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, finely chopped; 1 inch ginger, grated; and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté until onions soften, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, and 1/2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the lamb cubes. Increase heat to medium-high. Brown the lamb on all sides, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Cover the pan and cook on medium heat until most of the liquid evaporates. This may take 15-20 minutes.
6. Increase heat to high. Fry the lamb uncovered for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned.
7. Reduce heat to medium. Continue frying for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the lamb is fairly dry and fat floats to the surface.
8. Carefully drain off some of the excess fat, leaving the spices behind.
9. Add 1 cup water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 50-60 minutes, or until lamb is very tender. Add more water if needed.
10. The thick spice paste should cling to the meat. Stir in 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste).
11. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
12. Stir in 1 tsp garam masala and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro. Remove from heat.
13. Serve the Bhoona Gosht garnished with sliced tomatoes and remaining cilantro.
