  • Take it into the pan and wait for it to absorb the water left by the meats on low heat with the lid of the pan closed.
  • Then add the butter.
  • Add the spices and tomato paste, except salt.
  • Make sure to add hot water. It won't be too watery, we'll just have a thick sauce.
  • If the cooking time of the meats is prolonged, you can check frequently and add a little bit of hot water if necessary so that the pan does not hold the bottom.
  • Finally, add salt to cooked meats and remove from heat.
  • First, put the eggplant puree and then the meat on the serving plate.
