I have made this twice now and my whole family loves it. Because lamb is not widely available where I live I make it with ground turkey instead. It's still great, though I would like to try it with the lamb at some point too. Make some Naan to go with it and you will have a great meal. -
This is really delicious for DH, DD (toddler) and I. I use canola oil to be soy free, yellow potatoes or different types of winter squash since we have been trying to avoid potatoes, lean ground beef with a little extra canola oil instead of lamb, black dried limes for which I remove any visible seeds, instead of Maggi cubes I use Recipe #418911 to be gluten free which works perfect in this dish. I serve this rice with plain Balkan (thick) yogurt or recipe#437351 which is absolutely delicious mixed in or recipe#443878 which is more traditional but we prefer the beet apple one! Plus a fresh salad such as, Recipe #410488. I will make this again & again.

I enjoy trying recipes from all over the world, I will try anything once. I hate to get bored with the same old recipes, thats why I love to spice it up with new ones.
