👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee (if using) over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown them on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Do not stir them into the lamb; let them form a layer on top.
- 3
Layer the potatoes over the onions, followed by the eggplant, then the zucchini. Season each layer lightly with salt and pepper.
- 4
Scatter the chopped tomatoes and the sliced green chili (if using) over the top layer of vegetables.
- 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste and 1/4 cup of water. Pour this mixture evenly over the vegetables.
- 6
Sprinkle the allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom over the top. Cover the pot tightly and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 1 hour, or until the lamb and vegetables are tender.
- 7
While the stew is simmering, prepare the mint and garlic paste: In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with a pinch of salt and the dried mint until a paste forms. Mix this paste with about 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the stew.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, gently spoon dollops of the mint-garlic paste over the stew. Do not stir. Cover and let it simmer for the final 5 minutes.

To serve, carefully transfer the stew to a wide serving dish, trying to maintain the layers. Drizzle with melted ghee (if using) and serve hot with rice or bulgur.
