- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin powder

- Add your onion which has been finely chopped, to the pot and cook until it begins to soften.
- Add the turmeric powder and stir for a few seconds.
- Then add in your ground ginger and garlic and stir.
- Now add your cumin powder and masala.
- If it is too dry and starts to catch, add a little more oil so that it looks like a paste.
- Add in your lamb pieces, salt, and stir well to coat.
- Then add in about one cup of water or enough to just cover the lamb.
- Add the chopped tomato and potatoes and let it simmer until the meat is cooked and the potatoes are soft.
