The lamb makes this a protein-rich dish, while cumin promotes digestion, and turmeric contains powerful nutrients like beta-carotene, vitamin C and calcium.
This dish gains its incredible flavor from its spices as well as its long cooking time of almost 3 hours. Make sure to leave plenty of time to prepare this, as less time on the stove will yield a less flavorful final product.
