Goat stew

Ma's maternal uncle's wife used to make this goat stew a lot. Ma used to go to uncle's house in the summer and aunt used to make the goat stew a lot in the evenings. It was fun to go there because it was relaxing. Aunt used to love Ma. She had blood cancer in 1994ish, then died 1 year later.

Mami used to dress sophisticated saris, always lipstick teep, lipstick and a little bit of shidhur, thick LONG braid, tall, very pretty. Mami was good at knitting, baking (pastries, cake-British/American recipes), loved to host parties/get togethers (esp since Mama used to work at GE). She also loved to paint (batik-originally Indonesian). Mami taught her two daughters how to do a lot of art and baking, cooking.

Mama always loved to keep a flower garden - full of dahlias (I still remember). Used to live in Dover Lane by Gariahat.

BUtter/oil (1 tbsp), jeera phoron, garam masala - on oil. Add garlic and onion, when translucent, add meat and water, when slightly brown, then add water, adda batta, salt, tiny bit of sugar, 1 large hatta full of vinegar (tahale tak mishti hoy), then cover pot and boil on high, then let simmer (~1.5 hours).
