====Ingredients====
  *Ghee: 80 g
  *Sweet onion: 220 g, thinly sliced or diced \\ \\ 
  *Ginger: 14 g, grated
  *Garlic: 14 g, grated \\ \\ 
  *Black peppercorn: 4 g, toasted and ground
  *Green cardamom seed: 4 g, toasted and ground
  *Cinnamon stick: 4 g, toasted and ground
  *Cumin seed: 4 g, toasted and ground
  *Mace blade: 1.6 g, toasted and ground
  *Nutmeg: 1.6 g, fresh grated
  *Sugar: 8 g \\ \\ 
  *Heavy cream: 400 g
  *Water: 120 g \\ \\ 
  *Butter: 32 g (unsalted)
  *Lime juice: 8 g
  *Saffron: 1.6 g

====Notes====
  *I recommend peeling open fresh cardamom pods and discarding seeds that look brown and dry. The blackest, stickiest seeds will be the most flavorful. Yes this is a time-consuming effort
  *You can probably get away with using a lot less saffron
  *MC says to season with rose water at the end, but I'm not a big fan. I may give it another try on a test amount though
  *MC recommends toasted spices in oven at 340F until golden and aromatic, 10-15min. I usually just use a dry pan though
  *Goes well with tender lamb. You can pressure cook lamb stew meat or shank for ~40 min to get nice results
  *You can toast and grind together the black peppercorn, green cardamom seed, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, and mace blade

====Instructions====
  -Sauté the onion in ghee over low/medium heat until translucent and lightly golden, about 10 minutes
  -Add ginger and garlic to onion, sauté a few minutes until fragrant
  -Add ground toasted spices, nutmeg, and sugar to the pan. Mix
  -Add heavy cream and water to pan. Mix thoroughly
  -Simmer for 30 minutes, then remove from heat
  -Whisk in butter, lime juice, and saffron until smooth
  -Season to taste and serve with protein of choice (~1 lb)
