- NOTE:
- 1. Its a super spicy, tangy dish to go with steamed rice. This recipe is great done in a pressure cooker. The meat literally falls apart when you cook it this way. If you do it in the pressure cooker this dish can be done in 20 min.
- 2. Always use hot or warm water to cook and grind. It keeps the dish from spoiling. Use caution while grinding!!
- 3. If you are going to prepare this dish with fresh Chicken or Turkey you have to marinate it overnight.
- 4. It can be done in a Crock pot too.
- I know its elaborate but its worth the effort. Enjoy & Good eats!
