    Dohkhleh is my personal favourite. It goes best with jadoh., I am a khasi and 'Dohkhleh' meaning mixed meat is a khasi delicacy.
    Steps for preparation using my father's recipe
    1) Buy a whole animal head from your local butcher.
    2) Firstly grill the head for 2-3 and clean of facial hair and the tongue. Do this continuously till you've removed all the facial hair.
    3) Wash the cleaned head in cold or running water.
    3) Cut the head into big chunks and wrap the brain in a banana leaf and boil it in steam.
    4) Boil the big chunks of meat in water till it becomes a broth and the meat becomes soft and tender.
    5) Remember to add ginger to the boiling water.
    6) After the meat is cooked, start removing the bones and cut the meat.
    7) When cutting the meat it's recommended to use scissors to get the desired edge and size. It is advised that you should cut the meat half the size of a. grape and not to big and to not throw out the tongue.
    8) Add some onions that's thinly sliced from pole to pole, mix well.
    9) Add the brain cooked in steam to the mixture and mix well along with the onions and add salt, remember to taste.
    10) Cook some rice, take out your plates, scoop your rice, add the broth your rice, scoop a handful of dohkhleh to your plate.
    E N J O Y.
    IF YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL AND WANT TO USE THIS RECIPE LEAVE A LIKE AND A COMMENT.
    DOHKHLEH IS THE PRIDE OF THE KHASI AND JAINTIA TRIBE IN MEGHALAYA.
    IF YOU WANT RECIPES ON Dohjem(Intestines) and Jadoh (Biryani/Fried rice cooked in meat broth and or chicken's blood do comment.
