Step 1
Marinate the lamb in amchur, olive oil, garlic, cinnamon, and salt and set aside for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
Step 2
To make the artichoke sauce, purée the drained artichoke heart, fresh fenugreek, ginger, serrano, cream, and salt. Add the butter and heat this sauce up gently just before serving.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350°F. To cook the lamb, heat 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil or ghee and sear the lamb pieces for 2 minutes on both sides. Remove and let them rest. Place in a 350°F oven for 3 to 4 minutes just before slicing and serving. Serve the sauce warm alongside.

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup sesame seeds
