For the Shurpa:

- 1 pound lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- Salt, to taste

For the Basmati Rice:

To start, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper and cook for another minute.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
While the shurpa is simmering, prepare the basmati rice. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, bring the water, salt, and butter to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
To serve, spoon the shurpa into bowls and top with fresh cilantro. Serve the fragrant basmati rice on the side.
