The meat being prepared is known as the cutting grass which is an animal that lives primarily in the forest, that is why it is being called Bush meat. Since I am not grinding the sliced tomatoes and the rest, I shall proceed by placing the red oil of fire. When the red steams enough, put the sliced tomatoes and others into the pot, then allow for one minute. After, pour in the roasted meat into the pot and the salt and maggi and add in a little bit of water like a ½ cup of water. Close your pot and allow for a period of ten minutes. Check from time to time and when it is ready, bring down your pot.
