1. On a cutting board, cut the lamb into 4-by-2-inch strips, each about 14-inch thick. Cover the strips with plastic wrap, then, with the flat side of the meat mallet, pound each strip until they are about 6- by 3-inches and an even 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to a large nonstick saucepan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, ghee (or oil), ginger, cinnamon, cardamom pods, fennel seeds, and salt and add to the pan with the meat. Mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the mixture. Cover and allow to marinate at room temperature about 30 minutes, but not more than 1 hour. (If keeping for a longer period, refrigerate the meat.)
3. Place the pan over high heat and cook, stirring, until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and cook until the juices evaporate and the meat is quite tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Add the asafoetida-water a little at a time, and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the meat is well-browned and very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Add the coriander, cumin, and garam masala and stir about 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the black pepper on top, and serve.
