👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Pat the lamb cubes dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the lamb with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned lamb and set aside.

Add the sliced onion to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the cumin, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, crushed cardamom pods, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Return the browned lamb to the pot.

Add the sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, and sliced green bell pepper. Pour in the water or lamb broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender.

While the lamb stew is simmering, cook the basmati rice according to package directions. Typically, this involves rinsing the rice, then combining it with water or broth in a pot, bringing to a boil, reducing heat, covering, and simmering until tender.

Once the lamb and vegetables are tender, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
