The meat, especially lamb and goat , is first heavily seasoned. Typical spices are turmeric , garlic , tamarind , lemon or lemongrass . Then the meat is filled either alone or together with rice and / or chopped vegetables in bamboo tubes about 60 cm long and these are placed on the fire. When the meat has finished cooking, the pipes are simply split open.
