Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add diced tomatoes and green chilies, cooking until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle in coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.

Add the tripe and intestines to the pot, mixing well with the spices.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours until the tripe is tender.

Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
