Marinate the lamb pieces with half of the Hijazi spice blend, turmeric, minced garlic, grated ginger, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and lightly browned.

Add the marinated lamb pieces to the pot and sear them on all sides until browned.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Stir in the pureed tomatoes and the remaining Hijazi spice blend. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add enough water to almost cover the lamb. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the lamb is very tender.

While the lamb is cooking, rinse the basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain the rice.

💡 專業提示
- ✓The Hijazi spice blend is key to the authentic flavor. If you can't find pre-made, create your own by toasting and grinding cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and black peppercorns, then adding dried lime powder.
- ✓Slow and low cooking is essential for tender lamb.
- ✓For an authentic touch, you can cook the lamb in a traditional underground oven (tandoor) if available.
