Ingredients

• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Lamb (500g, sliced)
• Onion (1, chopped)
• Garlic cloves (3, minced)
• Carrots (2, cut into chunks)
• Potatoes (2, cut into chunks)
• Bell peppers (2, sliced)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
• All-purpose flour (2 cups)

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a hot stone pot or large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the lamb slices and cook until browned. Once cooked, remove from the pot and set aside.
3. Using the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions become translucent.
4. Next, add the carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Return the cooked lamb to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, mixing well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water to create a dough.
7. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet on a floured surface. Cut the dough into strips.
8. Arrange the dough strips across the top of the meat and vegetable mixture in the pot, covering the entire surface.
9. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 2 hours, or until the dough strips are thoroughly cooked.
10. Serve the Khailmag hot. Enjoy the comforting warmth and rich flavors of this traditional Mongolian dish.
