  5. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour in the broth and stir in the tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about an hour.

  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Add a splash of lemon juice for a zesty twist! Use a pressure cooker to speed up cooking, but adjust the liquid amount. If your stew looks lumpy, it's just adding character!
