Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the lamb cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped onions, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables start to soften.
- Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated in the spices.
- Pour in the water, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
- Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
- Serve hot, paired with steamed rice or traditional bread for a complete meal.
