    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the diced lamb with plain yogurt, crushed garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

    2

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated lamb until golden brown. Remove the lamb and set aside.

    3

    In the same pot, sauté the chopped onions, carrots, bell pepper, and green peas for about 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the cinnamon stick and ground nutmeg.

    4

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice to the pot with the vegetables. Pour in 600 ml of water and the saffron-infused water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.

    5

    Return the lamb to the pot, gently mix it with the rice and vegetables. Cover and cook for another 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the lamb is cooked through.

    6

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and mint before serving. Serve with yogurt or a side salad.
