What is Aloo Gosht Recipe?

Some dishes are simply amazing to taste and easy to make. The simple ease of making such recipes, which do not require a lot of ingredients and yet turn out so elegant is definitely a regular in my kitchen. The Aloo Gosht recipe or the aloo gosht ka salan as the name suggests is a dish made with lamb meat and potatoes.

Variations in making the aloo gosht recipe.

1. The first variation that is presented in this recipe is made with meat, potatoes, tomato, and coconut paste along with other spices. The potatoes are cooked along with the mutton curry itself until they are done. We use the coconut paste in this recipe, you can ground the freshly grated coconut and use it or get the store bought one. The coconut gets it a very unique flavor to the Aloo Gosht recipe or the Aloo Gosht ka salan.
2. The second variation that you can make is with the yogurt in place of coconut paste. It will have a more tangy flavor like a korma. You can also add both yogurt and coconut paste in equal quantity.
3. The third variation differs with the way you add the potatoes. You can add the potatoes as I have added directly to the curry itself, or you can add them after boiling separately. The potatoes can also be fried before adding them to the cooked mutton curry.

What kind of meat to choose for making the aloo gosht ka salan?

It is best to choose the hind leg of the lamb for making this aloo gosht recipe. You can also make it with boneless or bone-in pieces. Choose really tender meat if you are cooking without the use of a pressure cooker. Otherwise, it will take a really long time to cook the meat.

Step By Step Pictorial of making the aloo gosht recipe

1. Heat oil in a pan or pressure cooker. Add the chopped onion and green chili. Fry till the onion browns lightly.

2. Once the onion is browned lightly, add the ginger garlic paste. Cook until the raw smell from the ginger garlic paste has vanished. This should take a couple of minutes.

3. Next, add in the red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, tomato and sufficient water to cook the mutton till it is half done.

4. Cook until the mutton is half done. Do not fully cook the mutton as you will have to cook them with the potato too.

5. Add the diced potatoes and sufficient water to cook. Alternatively, you can cook in a pressure cooker too. Cook until the potatoes are almost done.

6. Add the coconut paste, coriander leaves, mint leaves. Cook until the mutton and potatoes are fully done. When you pass a spoon, it should pass through the potatoes easily. Adjust the consistency of the gravy according to your preference. Serve hot.
