Mix meat chunks, 1/4 cup almonds, dashes each of salt, pepper and safron, onions and green corriander - tied together to make it easier for removing after cooking.
Add 2 tablespoons shortening and fry till brown. Add water to cover the mixture. Cover pan and cook over medium heat till meat is tender. Remove the green corriander and let cook on low heat till liquid is absorbed.
Serve meat mixture and decorate face with sliced eggs and almonds. Serve aside a bowl of plain yoghurt and green salad.
