Serves 6 to 8
2 pounds cubed leg of lamb trimmed of fat
Spice mixture:
6 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ cup sour cream
3 cups thinly sliced onion
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2-inch piece cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves
4 cardamom pods, crushed lightly to break pods
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
¼ teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely ground with a mortar and pestle
¼ cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ cup water, or more as needed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Marinate lamb in mixture of ground spices and sour cream for 30 minutes.
In a Dutch oven or flameproof casserole over medium-high heat, fry onion in mixture of oil and butter until edges are nicely browned. Add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, garlic, and ginger and continue frying for 1 to 2 minutes until onion turns medium brown.
Add marinated lamb to onion mixture and stir over medium to medium-high until sour cream disappears and lamb is no longer pink on the outside, about 2 minutes. Stir in crushed fennel seeds, coconut milk, salt, and ¾ cup water; bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
Uncover and simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes to thicken sauce, adding more water if sauce is too thick. At this point the meat and sauce should have darkened somewhat.
Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat. Taste for salt.
