Prepare chicken drumsticks by stuffing them with a mixture of garlic salt, pepper, jumbo cubes, and chili powder.

Poke a hole in each drumstick down to the bone and stuff it with the mixture, ensuring it's secure.

Add the blended onion mixture to hot oil in the pot.

Add water to the pot before adding tomato paste to soften it.

Use a rubber band to keep the green onions together while cooking.

Add the lamb meat and chicken drumsticks back into the pot once the vegetables are halfway done.

Soften raisins by adding some broth from the pot and letting them sit for 5 minutes.

Add canned red beans and white beans to the cherry for color.
