Marinate lamb with yogurt, garlic, ginger, and spices for at least 2 hours.

Heat ghee in a large pot over medium heat until melted.

Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in marinated lamb and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Layer soaked rice over the lamb mixture without stirring.

Pour in water until it just covers the rice, then season with salt and pepper.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid and reduce heat to low.

Cook for 1.5-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to steam.

Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped cilantro, mint, and fried onions.
