Instructions

Cook lamb bones with ½ litre of water, 1 clove of garlic and bay leaf for 1 hour. Then pour through a sieve.

Peel the white turnips and cut into slices, not too thin. Sprinkle with salt, rub well and let stand at least 1 hour at room temperature. Then rinse off salt and drain turnips.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan, fry turnips for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Turn over a few times, so that they brown on all sides. Remove from pan and drain on kitchen paper.

Heat oil in a saucepan. Cook the onions for about 20 minutes, at low to medium heat until they are golden brown.

Add chopped ginger and one half of the garlic and cook for 5 more minutes.

Now add chili powder, paprika powder, ground turmeric, fennel, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon oil, 2 tablespoons of water, add lamb and mix well. Stir meat constantly for about 2 minutes, it should be completely coated with the spices. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

Once the liquid is almost completely absorbed, remove the lid. Stir with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes, stir constantly.

Add salt and tomatoes mix well. Add broth, cover with a lid and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. About 5 minutes before serving, add the white turnips.

Add salt if necessary, cook a few more minutes, then serve.

The turnips may be replaced by potatoes.
