    Heat the sheep tail fat in a wide pan over medium heat until it renders.

  2. 02

    Add the lamb shoulder and cook until well browned on all sides.

  3. 03

    Stir in the onion and cook until softened, then add the potato and cook until the edges begin to color.

  4. 04

    Add the garlic, cumin seeds, black pepper, and salt, and stir until fragrant.

  5. 05

    Pour in the water, cover, and simmer until the lamb is tender and the potato is cooked through.

    Uncover for the last few minutes if needed so the liquid reduces and lightly coats the meat and potatoes.
