Preparation steps
Rinse lamb, pat dry and cut into 2 cm (approximately 3/4 inch) cubes. Peel onions and cut into rings. Peel garlic and ginger. Finely chop garlic and finely grate ginger. Combine cumin, dried chile peppers, peppercorns, cardamom, cinnamon, mustard seeds and fenugreek in a blender and grind. Transfer to a bowl and add the vinegar, sugar and salt. Set aside. In a saucepan heat 2 tablespoons ghee. Add onions and cook over high heat, stirring frequently until dark brown. Add onions to the blender with the spices and 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth. Remove puree from blender.
Place the ginger and garlic in the blender and puree with 1/4 cup of water.
In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee. Working in batches, sauté the lamb cubes over high heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. Add the ginger-garlic paste to the pot and cook, stirring over medium heat for 1 minute. Add coriander and turmeric and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the lamb and the spice paste to the pot and stir to combine. Pour 300 ml (approximately 10 1/2 ounces) of water to the pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes. Season with salt, garnish with cashew nuts and serve with basmati rice, if desired.
