Add diced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Add diced tomatoes and cook until they break down.

Return the lamb to the pot and add water. Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking until lamb is tender.

Meanwhile, rinse basmati rice and combine with water, diced onion, diced garlic, cardamom, cloves, salt, cumin, and turmeric in a separate pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover, cooking until fluffy.

Once lamb is cooked, shred it and return to the pot to mix with the sauce.

Serve lamb over a bed of rice, garnished with fresh parsley and a dollop of yogurt.
