Comments
    
Some advices from Ilia Lazerson - I checked them and agree with them. The main
idea of this dish is that meat should be fried and then only heated, not
stewed - this is important. So take good soft meat, before frying meat beat it
well, sprinkle it with pepper (I dare to recommend you to use black pepper,
not red) and salt. Then fried meat. Prepare sour cream sauce. Heat the sour
cream, add flour heated with some oil or butter. Then add heated in a frying
pan tomato paste. Fried meat mix with browned onion, pour sauce and heat till
boiling but not boil.
