Notes

Goat's head khurdi: It is also called 'siri'. You can make delicious khurdi with siri and more bones that have bone marrow. We'll need goat head, skinned and cut into pieces. The brain, eyes, and ears are not added. We need just head bones and tongue. Wash thoroughly in water. and follow instructions similarly.  Skim longer and more vigilantly to remove any goat hairs lingering around.
Chicken neck khurdi: If you don't like red meat, the necks and bones of organic chicken also make very tasty and healthy khurdi. You can add chicken bullion cubes for better taste.
