Step 1
Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add lamb chunks and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges brown, then stir and cook 3 more minutes until mostly browned.
Step 3
Add diced onion and stir until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste and baharat spice, coating the lamb. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in stock and bring to a boil, then add rice and stir gently. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer 12 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbs.
