The Kachri tenderization makes meat suitable for Medium results, but cultural preference is Bhuna (thoroughly cooked). Modern Jaipur upscale restaurants serve internationally-graded doneness for premium cuts.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
