Braised Lamb Riblets and Lentil Stew

A simple and deliciously easy recipe that is packed with protein, this lamb and lentil stew known as “dal ghosht” is served in many Indian homes.
By Nik Sharma

The lamb riblets are braised on each side gently and then stewed with red lentils till the meat gets tender. You can also use succulent lamb meat chunks but cooking stews with the bone generally gives a richer taste to the stock in which the meat is cooked. Served with steamed rice or warm bread, this creamy lentil stew might just become a new addition to your menu of comfort foods.
