Mutton Yakhni
Description
Mutton Yakhni features lamb simmered in a spiced broth enriched with whole spices including black cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns. The recipe starts by sautéing these spices in olive oil to release their aromas, then softening onions before adding garlic and ginger pastes for deeper flavor layers. Adding lamb along with water, salt, and black pepper, the mixture cooks slowly for an hour until the meat becomes tender and infused with the aromatic broth.
The resulting stew is delicate yet flavorful, highlighting the lamb’s natural taste while creating a light but savory sauce. The process yields meat that is soft enough to fall off the bone and a broth seasoned with subtle spicy notes characteristic of the whole spices used. This dish is traditionally served immediately with plain steamed rice, which complements the yakhni’s mild richness and balances the spices.
