Chicken is leaner and more affordable than lamb.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add lamb pieces and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

In a bowl, combine yogurt with spices: coriander, cumin, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add the yogurt mixture to the pot, stirring well to coat the lamb evenly.

Pour in enough water to cover the meat, then add bay leaves.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5-2 hours until lamb is tender.

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to prevent sticking.

Once cooked, remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if needed.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Serve hot with rice or naan.
