For an even richer flavor, marinate the lamb in the yogurt and spices for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, before cooking. Adjust the number of chile peppers to your desired spice level. Remember that dried chiles tend to be spicier than fresh ones. If you can't find Kashmiri garam masala, use a regular garam masala and add a pinch of smoked paprika for a similar depth of flavor. Serve with basmati rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious gravy. A dollop of raita (yogurt sauce) can also complement the dish beautifully. For nut-free dish, simply omit the almonds.
