My mom has planned different meat recipes to make after qurbani. First we will set aside the part of poor people, then to the relatives and then with the remaining meat, we will make various recipes. We will also chicken recipes to make some change.
i think, we should add papeeta for tendering, and also we cant deep fry due to high cholesterol . will be steam in pot. I hope it will make it more tasty and nutritious.
should i add papaya to chicken to make it more soft???
