- Tenderize the steak with a mallet for juicy, soft, and tender pieces.
- Make the sauce according to your taste; add extra masala if you want it spicier.
- Keep the lid on the fried potatoes after adding masala, salt, and vinegar so that the steam will allow them to be nice and soft, creating slap chips.
