Aloo Gosht

When you cook mutton with potatoes, you basically get this mutton dish known as Aloo Gosht. That's it guys and potatoes by far, can we say no to? You tell me. We definitely won't reject potatoes (Aloo Gobi, Dum Aloo & Chilli Aloo). God! A favourite of ours and its somehow like a habit potatoes must go into curries, wouldn't you agree? Mutton curry and potatoes? What say you? Nothing to say right? I know (Mutton Parathal, Masala Mutton CurryMutton Dalca, Mutton KurmaPepper Mutton CurryEasy Mutton Curry, Mutton Keema & Rogan Josh). Moreover, mutton by itself? What should I say? We Indians and our love for mutton goes back to millions of years ago and till this day, no festival is complete without a mutton dish or a special occasion can take place without mutton or at least once a month, mutton dish must be our food delight? Of course. For us personally (Shahi Mutton Curry, Mutton Varuval, Indian Mutton Meatball Soup & Mutton Soup). Right. Today ladies and gentlemen, I am featuring another, obviously a mutton dish? Aloo Gosht. Like I have already told you, mutton and potatoes and for a dry style, cooked with dried chillies and spices.

400g mutton - cut into bite sizes
1/2 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste

  2. Stopped eating very mutton due of smell & change in color to black after cooking.Here we get different varieties from all over the world & butchers say its fresh. But how it will be fresh when it is imported from other country & don't know how much time it takes to reach the shop.

    Loved your take with chilly & addition of potatoes makes it more tempting.

    Love the color and the freshness of the fry! 10 dried red chilli, Wow - that must have been pretty hot!
    Love the shots and the demonstration!
