Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds lamb, cut into chunks
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

Method:

- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger, cooking until onions are golden brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

- Pour in water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender.
- Finish with Garam Masala:
- Stir in garam masala and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Notes:
- For best results, use fresh, high-quality spices.
- Lamb Roganjosh can be made a day ahead as the flavors deepen overnight.
