1. Prepare the ginger-garlic paste. Then, place the lamb shanks and potatoes in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, 2 teaspoons garam masala, turmeric, and salt and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, at least 4 and up to 24 hours.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion until well-browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and green chili peppers and cook, stirring, until most of juices evaporate, about 7 minutes.
3. Add the coriander, cumin, and paprika (or cayenne pepper), stir 1 minute then mix in the marinated meat and potatoes, plus all the marinade, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the sauce is as thin or thick as you desire, about 40 minutes, adding 1/2 to 1 cup of water, if needed.
4. Mix in the fenugreek leaves during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the garam masala and mint leaves on top, and serve hot.
