A South Indian coastal classic featuring succulent pieces of meat marinated in a tangy masala of dried red chillies, tamarind, and roasted spices, then slow-cooked in pure golden ghee. The result is a deep, rich, caramelised coating that's smoky, spicy, and irresistibly buttery—a fiery, aromatic celebration of spice and indulgence with pure comfort and coastal soul.
