Peshawari Kadhai Gosht Recipe
Peshawari Gosht is a flavorful mutton curry made in the Peshawar region which is now a part of Pakistan. This mutton curry is made using very few ingredients in a kadai (heavy bottom pan). Here is how to make it.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 5-6 medium tomatoes
- ½ cup ghee
- 2 pounds goat mutton 1 kg, cut into 1 and ½ inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
- 5-6 green chilies slit into half
- 2 teaspoons chopped ginger
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them in a criss-cross manner at the bottom using a sharp paring knife.
- Heat 3-4 cups of water in a pan over high heat.
- Once the water comes to a boil, add the tomatoes to the pan.
- Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the tomatoes cool down for 10-15 minutes.
- Take out the tomatoes from the water using a tong and discard the water.
- Peel the skin of the tomatoes by pulling them from the bottom cuts. Set the peeled tomatoes aside.
- Heat ghee in a pan over high heat.
- When the ghee is hot, add mutton and salt and saute for 4-5 minutes.
- Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes. Keep stirring a few times in between.
- Add the peeled tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, and garlic and mix well.
- Cover the pan again and cook for another hour or until the mutton is tender.
- Keep mashing the tomatoes using the back of the ladle a few times while cooking.
- Note - There is no need to add any extra water as the mutton will cook in its own juices. Having said that, if the curry is getting dry and burning at the bottom of the pan at any point while cooking, feel free to add some water.
- By the time mutton is cooked, tomatoes should be mashed well and integrated into the curry.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with roti.
