Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the dough by mixing flour, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth; let it rest for 30 minutes.

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

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add lamb to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

In a large baking dish, layer sliced potatoes and carrots at the bottom.

Add the lamb mixture over the vegetables, distributing evenly.

Pour water over the mixture, ensuring vegetables are covered.

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cover the baking dish tightly with it, sealing the edges.

Make a few slits in the dough to allow steam to escape.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and paprika before serving.
