Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium high heat, add the sliced onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Set aside approx 1/3 of them for garnish . Add the cardamom and cinnamon and let them sizzle for 4 - 5 seconds add the lamb and the marinate and fry for a minute or two more, stirring constantly.4. Add tomatoes about 200ml hot water, bay leaves and thyme and bring to boil, stirring.5. Cover, lower heat to very low and simmer for about 30 - 40 mins until lamb is very tender. Remove the lid towards the end of cooking, to allow the liquid to reduce down until required consistency is acheived. 6. Gently stir in cooked beans and cook for 1 - 2 mins to heat through. 7.
