Mix everything together very well in a 'Karahi'. Start cooking over a high flame uncovered, when ingredients begin to boil stir them with a wooden spoon, continue cooking for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn the flame to medium, cover the 'Karahi' with any lid that fits. Continue to cook for another 15 minutes stirring once or twice then remove the lid and reduce the heat and cook for another 20 to 25 minutes, do not cover the 'Karahi' during this time, stir occasionally but very gently. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Serve with rice or any sort of bread or even chips!
