First, soak the basmati rice in warm water for approximately 30 minutes. This softens the grains and helps them to cook evenly.
While the rice is soaking, begin cooking the lamb in a large pot. Cook until the meat is browned and tender.
Next, add the saffron, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to ensure the meat is evenly coated in the spices.
Add the dried apricots and prunes to the pot and stir again.
Drain the rice and add it to the pot, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed all the flavors from the meat and spices.
