Saag Gosht

Saag Gosht… Variety of fresh and crisp greens stalked in huge piles at the local vegetable vendors makes it very difficult to ignore them and why to when they are healthy and delicious to eat as well. During a recent trip to the whole sale vegetable market, I got loads of Spinach, Mustard, Fenugreek, Coriander and Radish greens. Some of it went into the Sarson Ka Saag that we enjoyed with hot Makki Ki Roti and the remaining was made into this super awesome Saag Gosht.

I used frozen mutton from Chevon Food for this recipe which was part of the huge gift hamper sent to me by West Coast Group as a congratulation gift to celebrate the win of my blog at the prestigious Food Bloggers association Indian Awards, 2014. I must say I am impressed by the quality of the meat and will definitely recommend it to my friends and readers. Chevon makes sure the meat is frozen at it’s peak quality to preserve it in better state and it is vacuum packed with three layer packing to maintain product quality. The quality showed in the resultant curry. The flesh was perfectly cooked and was falling off the bones, even though I reduced the cooking time a bit.

So here is the recipe to make this winter special Saag Gosht.
