Finely chop the onions and fry them in vegetable oil for 8 minutes, until golden.
Add the bone-in lamb and sear for 7 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, tomatoes, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and salt to the pot.
Add the yogurt gradually, stirring after each addition so the sauce does not split.
Cook the meat in a covered pot for 55 minutes, until it begins to soften.
Cut the potatoes into large pieces, add them to the pot, and cook for 22 minutes, until tender.
Add the garam masala, rest the dish for 5 minutes, and serve with basmati rice and lavash.
💡 Tip: Do not add the potatoes before the meat starts to soften; if they cook too long, they fall apart and make the sauce starchy and mushy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve aloo gosht hot with basmati rice, lavash, and cucumber yogurt if desired.
