    Simmer the dish under the lid for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and making sure that the sauce does not burn. If there is not enough liquid, pour a little boiling water. Serve the finished dish to the table with any side dish. Enjoy your meal!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
