Ingredients

  • 3 medium pieces of meat
  • 2 teaspoons stock cube (e.g., Maggi)
  • ½ cup dried ground chile pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 large onion , chopped
  • 2 bunches of fresh jute (lalo) leaves, chopped
  • 1 small piece of potash (kanwa)
  • 2 medium pieces of daddawa (fermented locust bean), pounded
  • Water (as needed for boiling)

Directions

1

In a pot, boil the meat with the stock cube, half of the chopped onion, and just enough water to cover the meat. Cook until the meat is tender.

Add the chopped jute leaves and potash. Cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Blend the remaining onion with the chile pepper and a small amount of water to form a purée. Add this mixture to the pot along with the pounded daddawa.
