1
Rub meat with ibzaar mixture. Heat oil in a medium sized saucepan or pot. Add meat with spices. Add some salt to meat. Fry until brown.
2
Heat oil in seperate sautee/frying pan. Add tomatoes, onions, okra and garlic. Fry until onions are soft and slightly golden and until okra starts to slightly change color. It is best to add the garlic at the end of the frying process as garlic burns easily.
3
Add above mixture to meat. Add water (make sure that meat is completely covered by at least 1 inch).
4
Add tomato paste, lemon (or dried limes) and salt to taste. Bring to boil. Cover pot and reduce heat to medium for around 45 min and then low for maybe 10 to 15 minute. Serve with Basmati rice.
