Lamb In Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

2 pounds lamb, cut into chunks with bones attached
2 strands saffron
1 tablespoon bharat
1/4 small white onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
3 ounces pine nuts

Preparation

1
In a large stock pot boil the meat and onion with enough water to cover by 4 inches.
2
Simmer until meat is tender and pulls easily from the bone (1 to 2 hours).
3
In a separate stock pot add the yogurt and turn to high.

Add 2 to 3 cups of stock to the yogurt pot and stir in the same direction as before.
8
Add Bharat spice mixture and salt and stir again in the same direction to combine.
9
Add lamb to the yogurt mixture and bring to a boil once more. Immediately remove from heat once it boils.
10
In a skillet, brown the pine nuts and almonds with the butter.

Place the cracker bread on the platter and add the rice on top.

14
Pour the rest of the sauce into a bowl for serving
