Instructions
1
✓
Marinate the meat with vinegar and salt.
Tip: Vinegar helps loosen meat fibers, making it more tender (tenderization).
2
✓
Make a spice paste from garlic, ginger, and spices, then sauté in oil.
Tip: Roasting the paste ('bhunao') deepens flavors and removes rawness.

✓
Add the meat, sear it, then pour in water and cook until tender.
Tip: In an acidic environment, meat tenderizes harder, be patient!
