Tender lamb slow-cooked in milk until the liquid reduces to a rich, creamy sauce, a unique Kazakh dish blending pastoral traditions.

Ingredients

1 Melt butter in a heavy pot. Brown lamb pieces on all sides, about 8 min.
2 Add sliced onions, cook until softened, about 5 min.
3 Pour in milk, add bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4 Cover tightly and cook on lowest heat for 2-2.5 hours until lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender.
5 Remove lid for the last 20 min to let the sauce reduce and thicken slightly.
6 Serve lamb with the reduced milk sauce, garnished with fresh dill.
