Put the lamb and chickpeas in a pot and add hot water.
Cook the meat and chickpeas for 70 minutes so the chickpeas do not stay firm.
Cut the potatoes into large pieces and add them to the pot with the onion.
Add the salt and spices, then stir the dish gently.
Cook the bozbas for 30 more minutes.
Divide into hot bowls without damaging the meat and potatoes.
💡 Tip: Sear the diced lamb quickly over high heat, then lower the heat; it releases less water and the flavor becomes more concentrated.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lavash and pickles or onion salad with sumac.
