its soaking liquid into a deep bowl and stir in the yoghurt, caraway

temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the almonds
and the rest of the boiling water in a bowl, and soak for 10
minutes. Pour the almonds and their soaking water into a blender and
blend until you have a smooth paste. Set aside. In a heavy
casserole, heat the ghee over moderate heat until fairly hot. Add
the cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, stir for a minute or so, then add
the onions, garlic and ginger. Lifting and turning them constantly,
fry for 7 to 8 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown.
With a slotted spoon, remove the lamb from the marinade, add the meat
to the casserole, and stir over moderate heat until it browns evenly.
Stir in the marinade and the cold water, then add the almond puree
and red pepper and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Pour in
the coconut mild, bring to a boil, and simmer partially covered for
20 minutes, or until the lamb is tender. To serve, discard the
cinnamon and cloves, mound the lamb attractively on a deep heated
platter, and pour the sauce over it.
