Peel and chop potatoes, carrots, and onions into small pieces.

Cut lamb into cubes and season with salt, black pepper, and cumin.

Heat a pot over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add lamb to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in potatoes and carrots, then add bay leaves and enough water to cover the mixture.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

Roll out the rested dough into thin sheets and cut into squares.

Place a spoonful of the meat and vegetable mixture onto each dough square.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.

Steam the filled dumplings in a steamer basket for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Serve hot with a side of broth or sauce.
