Preparation Method :

Put the lamb strips, yogurt, ground cumin, ground coriander, chilli powder, garlic, salt, garam masala, fresh coriander, and lemon juice into a large mixing bowl and stir thoroughly.
Cover and marinate at cool room temperature for 1 hour.
Heat the oil in a karahi, wok, or deep pan. Lower the heat slightly and stir in the tomato puree.
Add the lamb strips to the pan, a few at a time, leaving any excess marinade behind in the bowl.
Cook the lamb, stirring frequently, for 7 - 10 minutes or until it is well browned.
Finally, add the green pepper slices and the whole red chillies.
Heat through, check that the lamb is fully cooked, spoon into a serving dish, and serve hot.
