2. Heat the oil and ghee in a pan, and fry the lamb cubes in two batches until brown. Remove the lamb cubes from the pan.
3. In the same pan, add the onion, chillies, garlic and ginger and fry for 2 minutes until lightly browned.
4. Over a low heat, add all the spices, salt and sugar and stir for a few minutes.
5. Add the tinned tomatoes, stock and purée, stir well and add the lamb cubes and bring to the boil.
6. Put a lid on the pan and simmer for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.
7. Ten minutes before serving, quickly fry the peppers and onion in the oil until lightly charred, then add the tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Stir into the curry just before serving. Thicken if required by mixing the cornflour with a little water and adding to the curry.
