 1.50 cups Raw cashews, unsalted
 2 Boiling water

1

Place the lamb in a large bowl. Add the yogurt and marinade spices and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

2

Combine the cashews and boiling water in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, add the oil to a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and remaining spices to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Transfer the cashews along with the water into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

5

Add the lamb along with all the marinade into the pot. Pour in the cashew cream sauce and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a low simmer, cover the pot and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes or so. Note: USDA recommends cooking lamb to an internal temp of 145 degrees with a 3 minute rest.

Serve with white rice, fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
