PREPARATION
1.
Combine the spices and salt in a bowl.
2.
In a large bowl, stir together 1/4 cup flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice mixture, add the lamb and coat well.
3.
Heat 3 teaspoons of oil in a large pot. Add lamb a few pieces at a time; don't overcrowd.
4.
Turn the pieces until lamb is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch; add a teaspoon of oil as needed between batches.
5.
Remove the lamb and set aside.
6.
Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the onion to the pot. Cook for 2 minutes.
7.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Stir in the lamb and remaining spice mixture.
8.
Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.
9.
Cover and cook until the lamb is tender, about 1 hour.
10.
Stir in the squash and chickpeas and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
11.
Stir 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid into 2 tablespoons of flour to make a smooth paste.
12.
Stir the paste into the stew and cook until the broth thickens and the squash is tender, about 10 minutes longer.
13.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 bowls, garnish with cilantro and serve.
