Meat Dishes

You can spend hours in the kitchen preparing a gourmet meal, but if you do not deliver a hefty meat dish all your efforts are shrugged off as futile.

Traditional dishes that are served for formal occasions and feasts include big juicy chunks of lamb or mutton, generally served with rice. Lamb is classified by age and spring lamb, three to four months old, is slaughtered to mark special occasions when its blood is often smeared over a doorstep or a corner stone as a sign of blessing and to ward off the evil eye.
