Jhatka

Jhatka is a way of preparing meat in India. It is mainly used by people who follow the Hindu religion and do not consume meat that has been slaughtered by cutting its throat, a process called halal.

In jhatka, the animal is killed by a single strike, usually by a sword or axe, to its head. This results in the animal almost instantly losing consciousness, and it feels no pain after that.

The aim of jhatka is to minimize the suffering of the animal during the slaughter process. It is also considered a more humane method of preparing meat as the animal dies quickly and is not aware of the process.

Some people believe that meat prepared using the jhatka method is healthier, tastier, and has a longer shelf life. However, others argue that the halal method is equally humane and hygienic.

Overall, jhatka is a method used to prepare meat while minimizing the suffering of the animal.
