Instructions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl add 2 tablespoons of fat, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cardamon and salt. Mix well until the mixture has turned into a paste.

Step 2

Add the lamb to the bowl and toss to coat well.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of fat in a large, heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the lamb, and brown well. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining lamb.

Step 4

Add onions and carrots to the pan and cook for 5 minutes stirring to remove the browned bits of lamb from the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh garlic and ginger and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Return the lamb to the pot and stir in the lemon zest and chicken stock.

Step 7

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender.

Step 8

Add the quartered dried plums for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
