Where the meat will primarily be cooked along with mustard greens (saag) , to be served with ‘Tashan’ in place of ‘Salan” and whichvwill be comprised of ‘Slurpp’ made of Salad- vegetables, achari paratha shots with ‘shakkar on top and dollops of white butter to top. The vegetarian variety will have Amritsari Vadiyan cooked with roasted Jacket Potatoes in same mustard greens based paste, along with Chholia and Amritsari Chhole ( garbenzo beans).
