Lakra me Mish Cabbage and Meat Stew
This hearty cabbage and beef stew, sometimes called Lakra me Mish, is a slow-cooked dish that transforms simple ingredients into something comforting. You’ll start by browning beef and vegetables, then add spices and cabbage before a long simmer. The result is tender beef and soft, yielding cabbage, all in a rich, paprika-spiced broth. It’s the kind of stew that tastes even better the next day.
