Heat oil in a pot. When oil is hot add in the curry sauce and turmeric powder and saute for 5 minutes.
Add in the cubed lamb and 1 cup of water and simmer gently with the lid on for 20-30 mins (or until lamb is tender and done.) Once cooked drain off the sediment.
Fry the chopped onions in clarified butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat until translucent or golden brown.
Meanwhile, take the ½ onion, half of the garlic & ginger, and a pinch of salt and cook this in cooking oil over a medium heat until it is dark brown.
Add this to the other fried onions.
Put the cooking oil in a pot and gently fry the garlic, ginger, salt, red chilli powder, garam masala powder , cumin, fenugreek, ground coriander and tomato puree.
Cook for approximately 3 minutes very gently.
Add in the sliced tomatoes and chillies and stir well.
Add in the pre-cooked lamb and stir until it is thoroughly coated.
Add in the onions (that were fried). Add 1 cup of curry sauce.
Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the lamb is heated thoroughly and has absorbed the flavour from the spices.
Skim off any excess oil.
Season to taste and add in the chopped coriander/cilantro leaves and red or green chillies.
