Notes

1. As we are adding milk in the soup so some care has to be taken that nothing acidic is added khurdi, as the milk can curdle.
2. Do not heat khurdi on high flame.
3. Do not cover khurdi while heating.
4. Salt is often added in the last in this soup.
5. Take care that separate spatula is used while serving khurdi.

How to prepare siri or goat’s head: Separate the brain that we do not need for this recipe. Ask the butcher to cut head into small pieces. Remove everything extra that is fatty and gland like. We want only meaty parts , tongue and bones. Wash the it thoroughly. Then in boiling water blanch seeri for 1 minutes. Remove into cold water and wash again. Use as required in any recipe.
