Yes, absolutely use caraway instead of cumin! We don't use cumin seeds here, it's always caraway seeds. I mistranslated that in >>13823175, because cumin and caraway are the same word in Hungarian.

Looks pretty good, anon. Try beef next time (gulyás means cowboy), chuck or brisket is the usual cut for this dish.

You don't need ground, buy thighs or drumsticks and chop them up before cooking. Restuarants just grind meat to disguise leftovers. Also, I would prefer cheap pork or beef cuts, but chicken is more common. Here's a basic recipe for two whole legs of chicken.

>make a few thickish crépes, without sugar
>fry some finely diced smokey bacon and toss in a large finely chopped onion, fry until translucent
>remove from the heat, generously sprinkle with paprika, add the diced meat, salt, pepper and cover with water
>put it back on the heat, add 1-2 teaspoons tomato paste and simmer for about 40 minutes
>when the meat is soft, remove it to a separate pan (optionally mince it even finer)
>mix 1,5 cups of sour cream with 2 teaspoons of flour until it's smooth, pour it into the sauce and bring to a gentle boil
>taste the sauce, season it to your liking and simmer until it thickens
>add just enough sauce to the meat to give a spreadable paste and fill stuff it into the crépes
>fold up them into little pillows and place them in a baking tray
>pour the remaining sauce over them and bake in oven on high for ten minutes or until the top starts to brown a little
>serve smeared with sour cream and pickles to the side
