1. Lamb shoulder or leg shank 1 piece (you may use any other part such as lamb ribs or neck but
in any case you should use bone in meat. You also may use goat meat instead).

Bring to boil cover the pot and let cook in medium low heat for about one hour and half or until beans and meat are cooked.
Add turmeric, pepper, tomato paste, some salt and potatoes (regularly potatoes use unpeeled but sometimes I preferred to peel them depends on potatoes. Add water if needed.
Cover the pot again potatoes will be cooked in about 15 minutes.

Pour the broth in a small bowls. Peel the potatoes and mash beans and potatoes well. And serve with meat in a plate.
If you have flat breads available cut them in bite size pieces (every body will do it for him/herself)
And mix in broth then eat:)
