Method 2 Steps

1

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the meat cuts and cook until browned on all sides. If using lamb shanks, remove and set aside temporarily. If not, continue cooking by adding the onions and garlic and stir-frying for 2 minutes before adding all the spices, followed by the tomato and tomato paste.
2

Now, add some water, season with salt, and slow-cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Stir in the carrot cubes 30 minutes before the end. Stir in the peas 5 minutes before the end of cooking. The tomato sauce must be thick enough.
