Instructions
Creating Lamb in Creamy Cardamom Curry is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onions: Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Spice It Up: Add the ground cardamom, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to toast the spices.
5. Cook Lamb: Add the lamb pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the spice mixture. Cook until the lamb is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Incorporate Coconut Milk and Cream: Pour in the coconut milk and heavy cream, stirring until combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and season with salt to taste.
7. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.
