Notes

Uniqop’s advice:

You can use this recipe with any meat(lamb, beef, chicken, ground beef, ...)
Using fried onion’s stock oil makes a more delicious carrot stew
If you are going to add Koofteh Rizeh as the meat, cook it separately and then add it to the stew.
You can use 7 oz butter instead of vegetable oil.
As a vegan, you can add sauteed soybeans instead of meat.
