               Till date in Garhwal, the animals are killed and roasted first before de-skinning them. The intestinal part is taken out of dead animal and then roasted whole animal in campfire. Then the skin, penis, testicles, kidneys, heart, lever are taken out. The intestine or rectum etc is cleaned thoroughly by entering water into intestine and again roasted too.   The roasted skin part, intestine and testicles, kidneys, lever, heart etc are eaten as only after roasting only by mixing spices and salt and pepper. This is called Kachhboli.

 The mutton is cut into pieces and fried in oil with masala, salt etc. Usually water is put after thoroughly frying the mutton. This is called Shikar ku rassa or rasedar shikar or mutton curry.

 As far as fishes are concerned they are also roasted, then are cleaned and after by just sprinting salt pepper are eaten. If fishes are cooked for fish curry the fish is first cleaned and then fried in oil and mixed with spices and salt and then put water to make fish curry.

  In Pal/Shah period, no chilies were available and black pepper was costly as gold. Therefore local hot spices were used.
