Tikka
Marinate the boneless beef chunks with all the veggies and seasonings, along with oil, in this section. Set aside for at least 5-6 hrs . For best results marinate overnight.
To give a smoky effect burn coal on the flame. Place a bowl in the middle of the meat and pour a tbsp of ghee over it. Immediately cover it with a lid to lock the smoke in. Leave it aside and keep it covered until the smoke disappears ( approximately half an hour)
In a pot cover and cook till the meat is tender. Might take from 50mins - 1 hour. Cook on medium low heat . The juices released during the process should be enough to cook through the process. Tikka is ready when the meat is tender and the water is almost dried.
Slice a bun into half and spread butter on two sides. Place the prepared tikka on one side of the sliced bun. Top it with the salad and the prepared chutney .
