In Indian and Pakistani cuisine, a braised meat dish, especially lamb or mutton, cooked slowly with yogurt and spices.
From Urdu/Hindi 'arni,' possibly from Persian 'rani' (queen) referring to a royal cooking style, or from the method of slow braising in earthen vessels.
Arni is an incredibly fragrant dish where meat becomes so tender it falls apart—it's traditionally made in clay pots and the long, slow cooking melds the spices so completely that you can't identify individual flavors, just one harmonious taste!
