method
1. In a medium bowl, combine the Yogurt with the Garlic, cayenne, Cumin, black Pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Stir in the lamb.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the Butter over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cardamom, turmeric, Cloves, Cinnamon, rice, and the remaining 1 ¼ teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
3. Add the lamb mixture to the pan. Stir in the water and raisins. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the rice and lamb are almost done, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, until the rice and lamb are just done, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cashews.
