Step 2
Put the cauldron on the burner, pour in some vegetable oil and lay out the meat. Toast, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula.
Step 3
The next step is to add onion cut into half rings to the cauldron. Next, put the tomato paste in a deep cup and stir with half a glass of warm water. Pour into a cauldron. After the tomato paste, add finely chopped cucumbers. Stir well again.
Step 4
Remove the skin from the potatoes and cut into even strips. Then fry the potatoes in a separate bowl. Wait until the meat in the cauldron becomes soft and put the potatoes. Then add the crushed garlic, salt and cover. Cook for at least 5-8 minutes.
Step 5
Place the finished dish in deep bowls, remembering to add the broth. Azu is considered very nutritious and makes a great addition to your daily menu. For a change, you can use meat not only beef, but also lamb.
