3. Add the lamb mince to the saucepan and fry, stirring constantly, until the meat is browned. When all the mince has turned brown, add the vegetables, parsley, cumin, cinnamon, Worcestershire sauce, broth, and tomato purée. Sprinkle with flour and mix well. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 35 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes, adding a few tablespoons of water if the mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pan. Place the potatoes over medium heat for 25 minutes and cook until tender.
