Mutton hatodi parchey inspiration
Inspired from a hammer that one maintenance worker was using when I was writing the menu for Kopper Kadai. This one includes interesting spices like Patthar key Phool, Balchar, Bedi Chillies, Mustard, Nagarmotha among others, all used in ancient Indian cuisine for dawats.
