What it is
Tender lamb chunks, usually from the shoulder or leg, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, sometimes with garlic or green chilies. Slow-cooked for hours in a sealed clay pot or jar, allowing the meat to become incredibly tender and flavorful in its own juices, yielding a distinctively moist and fall-off-the-bone texture.

Optional tweaks
Ensure no added vegetables like potatoes or carrots unless specified as optional and requested to be omitted; no starchy sides like rice or bread.
Watch out for
Minimal, mainly from optional aromatics like garlic/chilies if used in large quantities. Ensure no potatoes/carrots are included.
