Sukuti (spiced dried meat)

Instructions

1. Quickly rinse the dried meat strips in lukewarm water to remove dust, then drain and pat them dry.
2. Finely slice the onions, chop the garlic and ginger, and cut the chillies into rounds.
3. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and fry the onions until golden, about 6 minutes.
4. Add the garlic, ginger and chillies, then let them flavour the oil for 1 minute.
5. Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric, cumin and salt, and let it cook down for 3 minutes.
6. Add the dried meat and sauté over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until crispy around the edges.
7. Finish with the garam masala and lime juice if you like, then serve hot with rice.
