Ingredients:

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 325° F / 170° C.
2. Brown the lamb cubes in small batches. Don't attempt to brown them all in one go as you will land up with a watery mess. The cubes needn't cook all the way through, but they must get a good dark color as this is what gives flavor to the dish. Set aside.
3. Brown the onions until they are soft and have taken on a brownish color. Again, this adds to the flavor of the curry.
4. Add the garlic and ginger to the onions. Allow to cook for a minute.
5. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods and cook for a minute. This allows them to release their oils.
6. Add the ground coriander, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper.
7. Add the flour and allow to cook for a few seconds.
8. Slowly add the stock, stirring to avoid lumps developing.
9. Add the meat back to the pan.
10. Bake for about 1½ hours, until the lamb is succulent.
11. Serve with Basmati rice, naan breads, cucumber raita, chopped tomatoes and chutney.
