  • Meat (4 kg)
  • Potatoes (3-4 kg)
  • few carrots
  • few peppers
  • few onions
  • spices (optional)

Now I will describe the procedure for creating it in our house in village.
At the same time grandmother started preparing meat and potatoes and father started a fire.
First let's look at how the grandmother sorted platter:

To get a perfect dinner, while waiting 30 minutes period of baking, we have to drink few shots of the local "RAKIJA". It is really difficult decision which one to take so the best decision is to try them all.

After 30 minutes we rotated meat and potatoes to not burn out and we removed fluid from platter. After rotating we put again bell on the platter to bake other side for another 30 minutes.
