Advice
Whisk flour into the eggs before adding yogurtβthis prevents lumps and helps the custard set without curdling. A 10-minute rest keeps the juices inside.
Why it works
Eggs and a little flour stabilize tangy yogurt into a tender custard; par-cooked rice absorbs lamb juices, so every spoonful is saucy but not wet.
Twist
Use chicken thighs instead of lamb for a lighter bake; or make a vegetarian pan with roasted cauliflower + mushrooms (keep the same custard).
