3. Heat a large skillet over a medium/high heat and sear the marinated lamb, along with the onions, until browned, then transfer to your slow cooker.

5. Pour the sauce over the lamb and onions, then add the bay leaves, cardamom pods and cinnamon stick and ensure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover with the lid of your slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3½ hours.

6. When ready to serve, remove the bay leaves, cardamom pods and cinnamon stick.
