This is one of those “eat with your hands because you have to relish every last masala drop from the bones” kinds of dishes. Preferably devoured according to my hubby with a cold beer in the sunshine but to me, my glass of Whispering Angel rose was the perfect accompaniment.

What are you waiting for? Get to the butcher, you don’t even need to marinate this one, and it won’t disappoint. I can assure you of that. You can thank me once you’ve tried it. 😊
