Make slits in the lamb shanks. In a bowl, combine garlic paste, ginger paste, baharat, ground coriander, black pepper, ground cumin, dried chilies, cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaves, pierced dried limes, cinnamon sticks, salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Rub this mixture all over the lamb shanks, ensuring it gets into the slits.

Sear the lamb shanks in a large saucepan over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp olive oil until browned on all sides. Add 1 sliced onion and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add 4.5 cups of reserved lamb stock water (or regular water if stock is not available), bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the lamb is tender.

While the lamb is cooking, prepare the rice. In a small bowl, combine saffron threads and sugar. Grind them into a powder. Dissolve this mixture in 4 tbsp of warm water.
