What you'll learn
Outcome Description
Spice Selection & Preparation Identify and roast whole spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves) to form the foundation of the masala.
Yogurt Marinade Techniques Use yogurt and acid (lime or lemon) to tenderize lamb while preserving a creamy texture.
Building the Masala Layer ground spices (Kashmiri chili powder, coriander, cumin) for a balanced, vibrant curry base.
Browning & Layering Flavors Sear lamb to lock in juices, then deglaze with aromatics (onion, ginger, garlic) for depth.
Slow Simmering & Consistency Regulate heat and timing to allow lamb to become fork-tender without curdling the yogurt.
Finishing Touches Garnish with fresh cilantro, julienned ginger, and a drizzle of ghee for aroma and shine.
