- Remove the lid and keep occasionally stirring; check if the lamb is tender and the content has reduced ⅘ if the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the cashew paste and stir for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in cardamom powder and stir.
- Then add cream and kewra water and give it a quick stir.
- Increase the amount of water if needed and simmer (optional) until you’re happy with the consistency of the gravy.
- Once you feel the desired consistency is reached, turn off the gas and squeeze the lemon juice (tip: adding lemon juice while on the flame can slightly make it bitter).
- Adjust the seasoning and serve.
