Chanakhi is traditionally cooked in a clay pot, which helps to retain the moisture and enhance the flavors of the ingredients. The preparation involves layering the ingredients in the pot, starting with the lamb at the bottom, followed by the vegetables and herbs. The pot is then covered and slow-cooked, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serving[edit | edit source]
