Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear lamb in batches, 90 seconds per side without stirring until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, cook sliced onion over medium until edges crisp, 4 minutes. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cardamom, cooking 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Add rice and stir to coat in spiced oil for 1 minute. Pour in stock and return lamb to the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 12 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

  7. Step 7

    Fluff with a fork. Serve immediately topped with extra crispy fried onions if you have them.
