This is a simple meat roast for Passover. It is usually served with Kifte
de Prasa. It so be noted that some Greek families did not eat boiled
potatoes on Passover since they consider that the cooked potato "rise up"
like the leavened bread. Rice is another food that is forbidden on
Passover, yet the Jews of India do eat rice throughout the year. The
Passover laws vary from region to region, each community establishing its
own tradition.
