ABOUT RAJASTHANI JUNGLEE MAAS RECIPE

This is a very ancient and traditional recipe of Rajasthan. It is said that the kings or men folk used to prepare this during their hunting expeditions. It was cooked with the meat of any animal that they hunted, hence the name "Junglee Maas" . As they could not carry any stuff with them they would make use of dry red chillies and salt to flavour the dish. These days it is prepared with goat meat and people have started adding many spices and other ingredients to it. I have prepared it with few whole spices for flavouring and Mathania Chillies, the very famous variety from Rajasthan. They give out a lovely colour but are not too strong.
