Soak garbanzo beans overnight in water.

Place lamb short ribs, diced onions, diced garlic, and water in a pot.

Cover and bring to a boil over low heat for about 90 minutes.

Add the optional cinnamon stick after 90 minutes.

Add the soaked garbanzo beans and cover the pot again.

Check seasoning and add salt, black pepper, and tomato paste as needed.

Once cooked, remove the meat and debone it, separating the meat from the broth.

Mash the mixture with a potato masher or a Persian gushed cub until you achieve a lumpy mashed potato consistency.

Pour the broth into a soup bowl, which is referred to as 'gosh'.
