very long process. why we need to boil the karayla and cook the meat before we fill in the karayla. i just fill them up with kacha keema and spices after peelin, salting overnight and washing, filling and then pan fry them saves a lot of time then cook left over keema in pot with onion and tomatoes and then add fried onions and karayla to it and leave it on dum. add water if it starts sticking.
