1 Chop the onion and fry in a little oil. Add the meat and turmeric, and fry until the
meat has achieved some colour. Add the water, peas, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
2 Rinse the limes, cut them into halves, remove the pips, and add them to the saucepan. Put a lid on the saucepan to prevent the water from evaporating, and let it simmer. Peel the potatoes and add them to the saucepan.
3 When the meat is ready, pour everything into a bowl and serve. You may also prefer to separate the meat stock in a bowl, together with one potato and one piece of meat. Mash the rest and serve from a platter.
