Herby Afghan Pan-fried Lamb Stew

Assemble the ingredients: lamb, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, flour, tomato, butter.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lamb and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Afghan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Afghan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
