  3. Add tomatoes and cook until they become pulpy.
  4. Stir in yogurt and nut paste, then simmer over low heat.

  6. In a separate bowl, combine ground lamb with chilies, coriander, ginger, spices, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Process the seasoned meat in a food processor until finely ground, then shape into bite-sized meatballs.
  8. Heat ghee or butter in another wok and stir-fry the meatballs until browned.
