Quotes
"This is just pure meat, lusciousness... It's so tender. It's so fresh and pure. When you dwell on that bite and that meat, you can almost feel the nature that that sheep has been grazing in."
"This is just lamb meat, cooked in its own juices, no ghee, and just green pepper, green chilies, black pepper, sauce... When you say cooked in its own juices, what you actually mean is it's cooked in its own fat."
