作法
- 厚重 Kazan 鍋或荷蘭鍋中加熱食用油。羊肉塊煎 6 分鐘上深色。
- 羊肉撒上孜然、芫荽、胡椒、喀什米爾辣椒粉與鹽。在羊肉上方鋪一層洋蔥片。
- 依序疊上：馬鈴薯塊、紅蘿蔔、甜椒、番茄、高麗菜楔形，蒜瓣分散夾在各層之間。不要攪拌；層次應保持分明。
- 加入 200 毫升水（蔬菜烹煮時會釋出更多水分）。鍋蓋包上布巾再緊閉—密封是關鍵。
- 以極小火烹煮 75 至 90 分鐘。期間切勿打開—蔬菜釋出的蒸氣才是這道菜的烹飪原理。羊肉應軟透，蔬菜變軟。
- 於餐桌邊開鍋—蒸氣會散發香氣。整鍋倒扣於大盤上，層次傾瀉而下，羊肉位於頂端。撒上蒔蘿與香菜裝飾。搭配饢餅與優格享用。

文化背景
Dimlama 是「懶人版抓飯」—使用與抓飯相同的食材，但以蒸燉法取代繁複的抓飯技法。這道菜與烏茲別克家常週間料理密不可分；技術門檻比抓飯低，卻能達到同樣令人滿足的效果。俄式「懶人燉肉」（Lazy Goulash）是相似概念。每戶人家偏好的蔬菜不同；有人加櫛瓜、茄子或木瓜。共享食用，眾人從大盤中各自夾取喜歡的部分。
