This elegant entree is a specialty of Rajasthan, home of the Rajput
warriors.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add
almonds and pistachios; cook, stirring, until light brown, about 4 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Combine the garlic, ginger, coriander, cardamom, chili, peppercorns,
cloves, cumin, mace and water in a blender and blend to form a smooth
paste.

Arrange lamb in a large shallow dish. Rub the spice mixture over both sides
of lamb. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy skillet over
medium-high heat. Add lamb and brown well on both sides. Add 1/4 cup of the
water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add remaining water; sprinkle in saffron. Cover and cook until lamb is
tender, about 10 minutes. Taste, and add salt, if needed. Stir in peas and
cook 5 minutes longer. Sauce should be very thick. Transfer lamb to a
heated platter. Stir sauce and pour over lamb. Top with fried nuts and
cilantro.

Note: Royal cumin (black cumin) or shahi jeera gets its name from the royal
Moghul dishes it was most used in. It is available at Indian markets.
