👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat oil or ghee in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in turmeric, coriander, and cumin powders. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Pour in water or lamb broth, ensuring the lamb is mostly submerged.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender.
6
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
7
Stir in garam masala. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving hot with rice or naan.
