1. Place the lamb, dal, ginger, garlic, onion, both cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves, and water in a pressure cooker. Secure the lid and cook over high heat until the regulator indicated high pressure, then cook about 1 minute more. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook another 3 minutes. Then remove from the heat and allow the pot to depressurize on its own, 12 to 15 minutes.
2. Carefully remove the lid and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the lamb is completely dry, about 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool and remove all the whole spices.
3. In a food processor, process the green chili peppers until minced. Mix in the cooked lamb, egg, coriander, and black pepper, and process to make a soft dough that can hold its shape, about 15 seconds. Shape into 16 to 20 2-inch patties and set aside.
4. Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet until it reaches 350°F to 375°F on a frying thermometer or until a small piece of the mixture dropped into the hot oil bubbles and immediately rises to the top. Fry the kabaabs, as many as the wok can hold at one time without crowding, turning a few times with a slotted spatula until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
VARIATION: Instead of a pressure cooker, place all the ingredients in a large pot with an extra 1/2 cup of water and cook over medium-high heat the first 3 minutes and then over medium-low heat until the lamb and dal are soft and completely dry, about 45 minutes. Let cool, remove the whole spices, and continue from Step 3.
