Instructions
- Place the lamb in a medium pot and add enough water to cover it by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is rare to medium-rare but not fully cooked, about 5-8 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, drain, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, add the onions and oil to a separate pot. Cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the turmeric, making sure it does not clump. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, add the lamb to the boiling sauce and stir. Turn down the heat to low, add the coriander, cardamom, and salt to taste, and stir.
- Cover the pot and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half and the sauce is moderately thick, 20-25 mintues.
- Serve hot with injera, rice, or your favorite whole grain bread.
