Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring in the oil, until soft. Add the lamb meat to the pan and fry until just browned on the outside. Season with cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Pour in just enough water to cover the lamb.

Cover the pot and simmer over low heat until the lamb is tender and the mixture is stew-like, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the lid a little after an hour if there seems to be too much liquid.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
