Instructions
- In a large saucepan, simmer the milk with the cloves, cinnamon stick, cumin and coriander seeds and 1/2 tsp. salt for 15 minutes.
- Add the meat and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the meat cool in the liquid.
- Peel and grate the ginger, crush the garlic, remove the stems from the cilantro and chop the leaves, and finely chop the onions.
- In a skillet, sauté the onions in the butter over low heat until they colour lightly. Add the garlic, cilantro and ginger. Set aside.
- Drain the veal and remove the spices. In the same skillet, sauté the veal until it is lightly browned; add the onion mixture.
- Add the vinegar and tomato pulp and season with salt and pepper. Simmer very gently for at least 30 minutes, stirring frequently so that it doesn't stick.
- Serve with rice.
