- Step 8Mix the softened tomatoes with the meat. Add 2 tablespoons yogurt. Cook on high flame for 5 minutes, stirring, until the yogurt water evaporates.

Notes
- Use a pressure cooker if preparing with bone-in meat for faster tenderizing.
- Adjust salt and spices according to taste.
- The gravy is intentionally kept semi-thick; do not add too much water.
