Grandmother's Qatari Baked Lentils Stew

Assemble the ingredients: lentils, lemon juice, coriander, flour, garlic, paprika, potato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the lentils and cook until baked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Qatari flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Qatari accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
