Answer 2

Well khoresht is not only that u mentioned. we don't use cinnamon in khoresht e spinach. For Ghormeh sab zee khoresht, you need beef in pieces, Vegetables (parsley, leek or green onion leaves, fenugreek [very little]), red beans, onions, dryied lemon [its name is Amani lemon], salt and pepper and water.

First fry some chopped onions and when they look golden add some salt and yellow powder, pepper, and then put your beef and stir it with onion for couple of minutes and the put your vegies in side the pot for 2 to 3 minute and then pure your water and beens. let it cook slowly until your beef and beans are done. and then add your dryed lemond which u can get them from iranian store or middle easterns same as vegetable u can get them from persian stores. instead of dryed lemon u can put fresh lemon jucie as well but its better to put dryed lemon.. and the when everything is cooked serve it with rice.. this how I cook it, other people may cook it differently. I'm persian and if you had any question message me;)
sorry i didn't talk about the measurements because I can cook without the measurements and I don't know how much of what..
about Pomegranate khoresht, I don't like it that much and I never cook it, so I don't know:d
enjoy your ghormeh sabzi khoresht..
