Step by step
Heat ghee in a heavy casserole, add whole spices and let them sizzle 30 seconds.
Add onions and cook on medium heat for 12 minutes until rich brown.
Stir in ginger-garlic paste; cook 2 minutes.
Add lamb and seal on a high heat for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat, add Kashmiri chilli, fennel and ground ginger; stir 2 minutes.
Add whisked yogurt one tablespoon at a time so it does not split.
