Titli's Tips
It is really important to use a good quality piece of meat for this dish otherwise you will be disappointed with the texture of the meat. Now matter how much you batter the meat, you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear!

Serve with plain rice and a very light sprinkling of tarragon.
