👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the crushed tomatoes, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaf, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Season with salt and black pepper.

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Pour in enough water or lamb broth to almost cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.

While the lamb is simmering, cook the rice. In a separate pot, combine the rinsed rice with 600ml of water or broth, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of oil or butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Let it steam, covered, for 5 minutes off the heat.

Once the lamb is tender, remove the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to thicken.

To serve, spoon the fluffy rice onto a large platter. Ladle the lamb and its sauce over the rice. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and toasted almonds.
