Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion, salt, and black pepper; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned a light golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Add lamb, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and garlic paste. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lamb starts to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and tomato paste; cook and stir for another 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Dissolve beef bouillon cubes in 4 cups boiling water. Pour broth into the pot with lamb and stir in okra. If necessary, add water to cover okra. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4 Remove the cover and cook until lamb is very tender and stew reaches desired thickness, 45 minutes to 1 hour
