- Add the cumin, paprika, tomato paste and chopped pepper, then stir for a few minutes.
- Pour in the water, add the bay leaf, salt and pepper, then simmer covered for 1 hour over low heat.
- Add the potatoes cut into large chunks and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, until tender.

Variations and tips
Lighter version. Replace part of the tripe with chicken pieces for a less rich dish that keeps the taste of cumin.
