💡 Dicas Profissionais
- ✓Using a traditional kazan (cast-iron pot with a rounded bottom) is ideal for even heat distribution.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the pot when searing the meat and frying the potatoes, as this can lead to steaming rather than browning.
- ✓If lamb fat is not available, use a neutral oil with a high smoke point like sunflower or grapeseed oil.
