Ingredients
  

  • 1kg lamb meat with bone
  • 3-4 medium-sized potatoes cut into cubes
  • 1 large onion finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tomato finely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 3-4 tablespoons oil

Spices

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 3-4 green cardamoms
  • 2 teaspoons cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoons coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder

Instructions
 

  • In a large pan put all the ingredients except tomatoes and mix them very well with the help of your hand. Let it macerate for half an hour or 1 hour into the fridge.
  • In a frying pan put a little oil and fry the potatoes with a little salt and turmeric powder. Fry them on high heat until they are golden and set aside.
  • After half an hour, take the pan out of the fridge and put it on medium-high heat. Stir everything until the meat releases all the water.
  • Let it cook until the water has evaporated. Add chopped tomatoes and sauté everything on medium heat until the pieces of meat become brown and, the oil has separated.
  • Add water until cover the meat. Rectify the salt and put the flame on medium to high.
  • When the meat is half cooked, add the fried potatoes. I don't usually add the potatoes from the beginning because they cook right away and melt.
  • Turn off the heat when the meat and potatoes are very tender and juicy. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle a little garam masala powder on top.
  • Serve it with hot Basmati rice.
