Method
- In a bowl, mix the yogurt with the turmeric, chilli and 2 tsp of the ground coriander. Season, then rub all over the lamb. Put in a shallow dish, cover and marinate in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow casserole over a high heat. Add the lamb leg steaks and quickly cook to brown on both sides. Remove from the casserole, and wipe it out.
- Add the remaining oil to the casserole, lower the heat and soften the onion, ginger and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir in the garam masala, cardamom and remaining ground coriander. Cook for 2 minutes more, then add the purée and tomatoes.
- Return the lamb to the casserole and add enough stock to cover the meat. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 30-45 minutes, topping up with stock if necessary, until the lamb is tender. Check the seasoning.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander and serve with warmed naan breads and boiled rice.
