Cutting
If you, rather than the butcher, cube the lamb, cut it from the shank half. And be sure to remove fell, gristle, and surface fat from the meat.

Yogurt
Don't substitute skim-milk yogurt for the whole-milk yogurt.

Spices
If you do not have the whole spices for step 5, use the ground equivalents and roast them for only 5 minutes.

Ghee
If you don't have ghee or clarified butter, substitute 20 milliliters (1 1/2 tablespoons) each of unsalted butter and vegetable oil.

Cooking
Don't let the preparation boil in steps 9 and 10 lest the yogurt curdle and the lamb toughen.

Coriander leaves
If they are unavailable, substitute 30 milliliters or 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley leaves (preferably the flat leaf variety).

Spices
Experiment with different spices, such as asafetida, and flavoring agents, such as tamarind.

Cooking
Instead of braising the lamb in step 9, cook it uncovered. Add a small quantity of water each time the liquid nearly evaporates.

Meat substitution
Substitute kid or beef for the lamb.
