While pounding the meat sprinkle with brandy and salt alter¬natively, till it flattens out to almost an inch in thickness. Now apply the milk cream mixture liberally over one side of the meat, in a thick layer, and roll up into a tight roll. Se. cure well with thread. Set aside for an hour.

Place the rolls side by side on the bamboo shelf, cover the pan tight, and cook over a very slow fire. Put live coals on a griddle or tava and place it over the covered pan. Cook till the rolls are tender and all the moisture has been absorbed. Then take the sticks out and place the rolls in the pan, frying to a rich golden color on all sides.
