Start by adding ghee to a pan.

Add coriander, cumin, and cinnamon to the ghee and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds to a minute, being careful not to burn it.

Dice the onion, garlic, and ginger while the spices are cooking.

Add the curry paste to the pan and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes to develop the flavors.

Add diced onion to the pan and cook down with the spices.

Add more ghee to the pan along with the ginger and garlic, continuing to build flavors.

Add lamb shoulder to the pan and brown it off.

Cook the lamb for a few hours until tender, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Stir in 100 ml of Greek yogurt and coconut milk.

Add shaved almonds, almond flour, sugar, and sultanas to the mixture.

Bring the mixture back to a simmer and let it cook for another 1.5 to 2 hours until the lamb is super tender.

Serve the korma with readymade naan, garnished with a little coriander.
