Ingredients

500 g minced lean lamb
1 onion, grated
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt

Knead together minced lamb with the grated onion and spices. Form into tiny balls and brown in a saucepan in half the oil.

Remove and pour off the oil. In the same saucepan, heat the rest of the oil.

Add chopped onion and cook gently until softened.

Stir in the garlic and rice, pour in chicken stock and add pumpkin. Return the browned lamb and cover tightly.
