Put the meat fat in a pan and stir until it melts.

Add 1 large onion, cut into small pieces, and stir until the onions are completely dried of water and start to change color.

Add about 4 tbsps of olive oil and stir on low heat until the onions are slightly browned.

Add 1/2 tbsp turmeric and 1/2 tsp black pepper; stir well.

Add 3 tbsps of tomato paste and stir until the acidity of the tomato paste is gone.

Add 1 kilo of calf and stir with the tomato paste for 10 minutes.

Add the juice of 5 tomatoes and stir well.

Add hot green chili to taste, stir slightly, and cover the pot for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, open the pot and stir to prevent sticking.

Cover the pot again for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Add 1.5 liters of boiling water and stir well; cover the pot for 1.5 hours until the meat is completely cooked.

Optionally, you can use a pressure cooker for 40 minutes instead of slow cooking.

Once the meat is cooked, add 1 tbsp of salt and 4 green peppercorns; stir well and cover for 5 minutes.

Add the pasta and cover the pot for 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to prevent sticking.

After 10 minutes, the Mubkabka is ready.
