Introduction:

Hello, culinary enthusiasts! Today on Pakistani Recipes by ZNB, we dive into the robust and aromatic world of one of Pakistan’s most beloved dishes - Kadhai Gosht. A staple at festive occasions and a must-try for anyone who relishes an authentic Pakistani meat dish, Kadhai Gosht, also known as Karahi Gosht, features tender, succulent meat cooked in a spicy tomato-based gravy with a blend of flavorful spices. Perfect for pairing with naan or rice, this dish promises to be a treat for your taste buds. Here's how to bring this traditional Pakistani dish to your table.

Ingredients:

- 1 kg mutton or beef, cut into pieces

- 3-4 tablespoons oil

- 1 large onion, finely sliced

- 5

-6 tomatoes, chopped

- 6-7 garlic cloves, minced

- 1-inch piece ginger, minced

- 3-4 green chilies, slit

- Salt, to taste

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 tablespoon coriander powder

- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

- Ginger, julienne for garnishing

- Juice of half a lemon

Method:

1. Preparation of the Meat:

   - Heat oil in a large kadhai or wok over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

   - Add the sliced onions and fry until they turn golden brown.

   - Stir in minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.

   - Add the meat pieces to the kadhai, browning them on all sides. This searing locks in the flavors.

2. Cooking with Spices:

   - Sprinkle salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and coriander powder over the meat. Mix well to coat evenly.

   - Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the spices do not burn.

3. Adding Tomatoes and Simmering:

   - Mix in the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cover the kadhai with a lid and let it simmer.

   - The tomatoes will soften and release their juices, helping to cook the meat. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the meat is tender and the oil begins to separate from the gravy.

4. Final Touches:

   - Once the meat is cooked through and tender, sprinkle garam masala and squeeze lemon juice over the dish. Stir well.

   - Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and ginger juliennes.

5. Serving Suggestions:

   - Serve hot alongside fresh, fluffy naan or steamed basmati rice for a complete meal.
