Soak the peas in water for about an hour before preparing them.
Sear the meat in a saucepan and add the diced onions. Fry well. Then add the peas and sauté briefly. Season generously with salt, pepper, turmeric and a little cinnamon. Fry the tomato paste briefly and then deglaze with water (just cover the goulash lightly with water) and bring to the boil.
Pierce the limes a few times with a toothpick or similar and add to the goulash with the saffron.
Turn down to medium heat and let simmer for at least 2 hours. Every now and then, fill up with a little water and stir so that a creamy sauce is created.
After filling up, always add the spices to taste.
Put the finished dish in a bowl and garnish with potato sticks. Serve with Persian saffron basmati rice.
