- 2 green bell peppers, halved
- 1 teaspoon mixed spices

Preparation
On high heat, place the special pan for cooking the dish and let it heat completely. Add the ghee and let it melt. You can use a thick-based pan if you don't have the special one.
Sprinkle the flour on the lamb cubes. Place the lamb in the hot pan. Using a wide metal spoon, stir the lamb until its water evaporates, color turns golden, and it browns.
Add the onion, garlic, green peppers, mixed spices, salt, cumin, crushed hot pepper, ground coriander, and black pepper. Stir the lamb with onion and garlic until the aroma of garlic and spices rises.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and water. Stir until the sauce forms and starts boiling. Let it cook on the fire for 20 to 30 minutes until the meat is fully cooked.
Serve hot with white rice or Iranian bread.
