Stir in the minced garlic, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Return the lamb to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes (undrained), vegetable broth, steeped saffron water, and dried apricots.

Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
