Hearty Uzbek dimlama: what it is and what is best to add

Dimlama is a delicious dish of Uzbek national cuisine. It is prepared with meat, mushrooms and vegetables, which are cut into large enough pieces and stewed in a cauldron. Of course, you can't cook this way at home, so it's important to choose a thick-bottomed dish to make the dish as rich and spicy as possible.
