Ingredients

  • 1 kg lamb shoulder meat, cut into large pieces
  • 4 cups water or 1 liter
  • 2 tablespoons ghee, or oil
  • 2 medium onions or 300 g, chopped
  • 1 cube MAGGI® Chicken Bouillon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon sweet pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ cup pine seeds or 75 g, toasted

Preparation

Place the lamb pieces and water in a large saucepan, bring to boil and skim forth.

Heat the ghee or oil in a frying pan, add onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Then add to the lamb in the pot.

Add MAGGI® Chicken Bouillon cubes, all the spices and the cinnamon stick. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour or until the meat is tender but still firm.
