  • Cut lamb into chunks and place in a large zip-top bag or glass or ceramic bowl. Marinate lamb chunks in yogurt, 1 teaspoon curry, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and half of garam masala, cayenne, turmeric, ginger, coriander, and cardamom for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Heat olive oil in a big pan over medium-high heat. Saute onions in the hot oil, about 5 minutes. Add the marinated lamb and any marinade. Add diced tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir until lamb browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a slow cooker and cook on High for 2 hours. Stir in bell peppers, cover, and continue to cook until lamb is cooked through and stew has reduced, about 2 hours more.
  • Reduce heat to Low. Add wine, remaining curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, garam masala, cayenne, turmeric, ginger, coriander, cardamom, and more salt and pepper to taste. Add bay leaf. Let simmer for 1 hour. Remove bay leaf and serve.
