Greetings from Indian cuisine

Brown the lamb cubes in hot oil for about 5-10 minutes on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the cumin, turmeric, and coriander powder and sauté for 1 minute. Add the lentils, lemon juice, lamb stock, and water and simmer for about 50 minutes. Then stir in the tomato paste and tarragon. Season again with salt and pepper. Serve with cooked rice. We also top with diced tomatoes for a fresh kick.
