  • Peel and leave the garlic cloves whole.
Make stew

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of olive oil.
  • Fry the lamb shanks for 3 min until lightly browned.
  • Add the garlic, turmeric, coriander cumin powder, and half the onion, and fry for 2-3 min.
  • Add the carrots, cinnamon stick, and measured water
  • Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 40-45 min, flipping the lamb shanks in between.
  • Once tender, remove the lid and reduce the sauce until thickened to your liking.
Tip! Got an Instant pot or pressure cooker? Cook the shanks on high pressure for 15 to 20 minutes.
