1.
Dry roast the red chillies to give it a nice distinctive aroma which adds great flavor to the dish.
2.
Now, add coriander and cumin seeds. Once done, grind it into a nice fine powder.
3.
Heat some mustard oil in a pan. Add garlic and ginger.
4.
Once the garlic turns slightly brown, add the lamb pieces.
5.
Give it a good mix. This is also a good time to add salt.

7.
Next, add the chopped onions and mix it well.
8.
Once the onions have roasted well, add the whole spices, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, mace, black cardamom. Stir well.
9.
