FROM MEMORIES OF MADRAS, by Arthur Pais and Radhika Radhakrishnan in Chile Pepper, April 1991.

This dish best served with rice or unleavened bread. It is a dry dish accompanied by a cilantro or green chile preserve and served with piping-hot coffee.

*I used chiles de arbol caribe, which are hotter Put all the ingredients except the oil and cilantro in a large pot, cover and cook for about 30 minutes over low flame. If meat is not tender, add some more water, stir well and cook until it is done. In a large frying pan, heat the oil, add the meat mixture, stir well and fry two or three minutes. Add the cilantro leaves just before serving. Serves 4.
