This is very tasty! Use home-rendered lard instead of oil if you can. I also like to add 1/4 cup diced celery or parsley root and an unpeeled thin sliced carrot to the onion. I prefer not to add cayenne. Instead, chop a large jalapeno or other smallish hot pepper for a fresher taste along with spicy heat. If you can't do a rich broth, a good beef or bone broth will do. This dish is very strong and dense, so add hot water to taste. Better than cayenne is red Kashmiri pepper in this dish.
Chef in Budapest said no caraway.
Ok, I’ve been cooking for 30 years or more but have NO clue what 100% power is. I’ll do it my way
microwave recipe. Use your microwave to make this.
Why can't I see the full recipe (only up to step 5)? Am I missing something or this post is broken?
