🧂 Ingredienser
- 800 g Lamb ribs or stewing lamb(cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 5 medium Potatoes(peeled and diced)
- 2 large Onions(finely chopped)
- 2 medium Tomatoes(chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 100 ml Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Salt(or to taste)

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Prepare the gravy: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lamb pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped tomatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes until tomatoes begin to break down.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the diced potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients (about 1-1.5 liters). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the lamb and potatoes are tender.

Prepare the dough for the noodles: While the gravy simmers, combine flour, egg, and lukewarm water in a bowl. Mix until a firm, non-sticky dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- 5
Roll out the dough thinly (about 2-3 mm thick) on a floured surface. Cut the dough into thin strips, about 0.5 cm wide. You can also cut it into small diamond or square shapes if preferred.

Once the gravy is ready and the lamb/potatoes are tender, add the cut noodles to the simmering gravy. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and tender. Stir gently to prevent sticking.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot in deep bowls.
