In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, one finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, ground coriander, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Shape the lamb mixture into small meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together water, tomato paste, turmeric, and cumin until smooth.

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the two finely chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
