Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Drain the soaked fenugreek, rinse it several times and grind it to a paste.
Whip the paste with cold water for ten minutes, by whisk or mixer, until it turns into a white froth.
Fry the onion and garlic, add the meat and brown it.
Add the tomatoes and potato, cover with water, season and stew an hour, until the meat is tender.
Heat a stone or cast-iron pot until very hot and transfer the boiling stew into it.
Break the eggs into the boiling stew and stir; they set into threads.
Spoon the hulba and a spoon of zhug on top and carry it to the table still bubbling. Serve with bread and rice.
