Meat Me

This is a favorite meat preparation that came to us from a friend's mom. I have cooked this on multiple occasions and it has always been a hit. I guess you would not be disappointed.

1. Get One Kilo of Lamb/Goat Shoulder Meat(the latter is preferred) that has been cut to medium size cubes. This is not a boneless preparation, so its better that you buy meat with bones and trust me, it makes a major difference. Clean them, fry until light brown and keep aside.
2. Potatoes are not a must, but if you are keen I am not going to deny you the privilege. So for this quantum of meat I suggest you fry about 8 semi spheroids of peeled potatoes and set them aside. Don't fry them too much...just about less than very light brown.
3. In the oil fry mashed onions till about light golden brown. (About 2 onions would do).
4. Add 3 heaped tsp of garlic paste and 1.5 heaped tsp of ginger paste and stir fry for a while. Then add 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 4 tsp of red chilly powder and 2 tsp of cumin powder to the same mix. Also add Stir the pish pash for a while while you add minute quantities of water so that the same does not stick. About 3-4 minutes would do and all this on medium heat.
5. Now you would add back the meat and potatoes that you had set aside.
6. Add about 150 gms of beaten curd and mix well on medium heat.
7. Then sprinkle a bit of soya sauce, tomato sauce and vinegar. Now you would add salt too depending upon the saltiness of your soya sauce.
8. Stir all of this and then add reasonable quantity of water and pressure cook for about 10 minutes. The final preparation should not look like a pond, so go easy on the water.
9. Garnish with Coriander leaves before serving.

That's about it. Goes well with rice or for that matter any Indian or Arabic Breads. Sphere: Related Content
