- Add coriander, garam masala, paprika, cloves, and turmeric and cook, stirring often until spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Season with salt and stir to combine. Cover and cook until lamb is cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes.
- Cut limes into quarters and squeeze juice from 1 quarter into the lamb mixture, then stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. Set aside. Warm tortillas by placing them on a gas burner until slightly charred. Serve keema with tortillas, extra cilantro sprigs and onions, sour cream, plus lime wedges.
