4 tablespoons ghee			1 large onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon		1 teaspoon tumeric
1 teaspoon ground white cumin		1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon garum masala			1 teaspoon chopped mint
750 gms lean lamb, diced		1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons whole blanched almonds	1 tablespoon pine kernels

Heat the ghee in a frying pan and stir-fry the spices for one minute. Add the onion and fry for a further 5 minutes. Add the meat and cook covered for 20 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and a little water to moisten if required. Cook for another 40 minutes. Test the flavour - if it is too sour add a bit more sugar. At the end of cooking if there is an excess of oil then spoon it off.
