1. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt and saffron and allow to steep until needed. Then, heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium heat and stir-fry the red chili peppers, cinnamon, black peppercorns, green and black cardamom pods, bay leaves, cloves, and cumin seeds until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the ginger-garlic paste. Then add the paste to the wok or pan, along with the lamb, coriander, and salt, and cook, stirring until golden, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the water and cook over high heat the first 5 minutes, then cover the pan, reduce the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lamb chops are tender and the sauce almost clings to the them, about 40 minutes.
4. Mix in the garam masala, mace, and nutmeg, and cook about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving dish, add the saffron-yogurt, and swirl lightly to mix, with parts of it visible as a garnish. Sprinkle the green chili pepper and cilantro on top and serve.
