    Shalgam Gosht or Mutton Lamb Curry with Turnip is a deliciously spicy meat dish that is slow cooked to imbibe the flavor of spices. This dish originated from Kashmir, where turnips are one of the few vegetables around and an oft-used ingredient in daily cooking. Here is how to make it.

    Shalgam Gosht served in a bowl.

    With winters setting in and best of the turnips available in market, this dish is a must make during this time of the year. 

    Mutton is a nourishing and strengthening meat that is often prepared with rich gravies and rice dishes.

    For a variation on a mutton dish, you can even try the Gosht Yakhni Pulao or the Methi Kheema,  spicy mince mutton with fenugreek leaves.

    For a homely meal wherein you wish to relish something delicious and yet not involve yourself too much while preparing it, Shalgam Gosht perfectly fits in.

    Enjoy this lip-smacking treat with flavourful Pudina Laccha Parathas and have a gala time!
