Add yogurt and cook well to make a one tone curry texture. Also, add tomato paste and cook on high heat until the oil separates from pan sides. Now time to add little water. Give it a good mix and cover with lid to cook on medium flame for about 35 to 40 minutes (Cooking time may increase depending upon the quality of lamb).
