Cut meat into small cubes and place in a
soup pot with bones, water, and dried lime
if available. Bring slowly to the boil, skimming
when necessary. Add salt and pepper, cover
and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours or until
meat is almost tender.
Remove bones and driedlime if used.
In a frying pan, heat ghee or butter and
fry onion until transparent, stir in turmeric,
and cook until lightly browned. Add to soup
with dried fruits (these may be washed if
necessary, but do not require soaking). Cover
and simmer for 30 minutes. Add sugar and
lemon or lime juice to taste so that soup
has a pleasant sweet-sour flavor. Serve hot.
