2. Allow onions to soften slightly then add Latasha’s Kitchen Biriyani Masala Paste. Mix well with the onions and cook for around 5 minutes on medium heat.
3. Next add the capretto shoulder and allow it to brown on all sides for around 8 minutes.
4. Then add in tomatoes, coconut cream and water. And arrange caroots on the sides of the meat.
