Karahi Gosht Recipe, pakistani. how to make karahi gosht recipe

A very popular recipe in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, Karahi or Kadhai Gosht Recipe is a delicious and easy to make dish. However today I am going to show you the Pakistani version

Karahi Gosht recipe, Pakistani is traditionally served in a wok like pan called karahi / kadhai, hence the name karahi/kadhai gosht. Serve it hot with peas pulao, khichdi or naan, it tastes amazing with a variety of dishes.

Living in a cosmopolitan city has it’s advantages. One of it is that you get to meet a lot of your Pakistani friends from across the border and learn about their cuisine, which is strikingly similar to ours and yet slightly different.

Made with few spices and ingredients, the pakistani karahi gosht recipe is cooked essentially with tomatoes. You can even try the same ingredients and method with chicken to make chicken karahi recipe. But I love to cook it with mutton.

The mutton pieces are first fried in oil and fat is added to it, (though I don’t use it and am happy with the results produced without it) and then the tomato is added and cooked further with other spices.

Even with minimal ingredients, the flavor and taste of karahi gosht recipe pakistani style is just amazing.

Just remember to make the pieces really small for the proper cooking. It wouldn’t cook as well with big chunks of meat and might require the use of pressure cooker if you do so.

But the best flavor comes out only when you cook it on the stove with the pressure cooker. Atleast that is how I prefer the karahi gosht recipe.

Not many spices are used for this pakistani recipe. It is more about the technique that we will use to make this karahi gosht recipe which makes it so tasty.

As there are not many spices in it, which makes this dish a favorite with kids too. You can always increase or reduce the amount of spice in it according to your family’s taste.
