5

Add potatoes and a little water(~250ml water or till pot content is covered) cover and simmer until meat is tender (1-3 Hours)

A few notes: 1.the heat level will be quite low, add a table spoon of chilli flakes or 2 chopped chillies to step 1 to increase heat, also you can add more cayenne pepper aswell as some hot sauce. 2. If you dont have the whole spice you can swap it out for the powdered version and vice versa, then add them at the appropriate step, whole spices step 1 and powdered spices step 2.
