Prep
Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch chunks and rinse the red lentils under cold water until clear.

Sear
Heat a heavy pot over medium-high with 1 teaspoon ghee and brown lamb chunks on all sides, 5–6 minutes, until deeply browned.
3
Sauté
Add the onion, finely chopped, and cook over medium heat 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
4
Bloom
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, chili powder, cumin and curry leaves; cook 1 minute over medium heat until fragrant.

Simmer
Add the tomato, lentils, stock and water; bring to boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer 60–70 minutes until lamb is tender.
6
Temper
Melt remaining ghee in a small pan over medium heat, add mustard seeds, and cook 30–45 seconds until they pop.

Finish
Pour the tempering over the stew, stir in garam masala and salt, then simmer uncovered 2–3 minutes over low heat.
