Posted on September 11, 2009 by hansalmehta
INGREDIENTS
For the Bhuna Gosht
1 kg Mutton/Lamb (with bone)
4 Medium Onion, peeled, finely chopped
4 tsp Garlic paste
3 tsp Red Chilli powder
Salt
3 tsp Coriander powder
2 tsp Cumin powder
tsp Turrmeric powder (haldi)
5 Medium Tomatoes, pureed or finely chopped
4 tsp Ginger paste
1- cups Water
cup Oil / Ghee
For the Chana Dal Gosht
1 cup Chana Dal (split chick peas)
2 tsp Red Chilli powder
2 tsp Garam Masala powder
4-5 tbs Fresh Cream
1 Onion, sliced, fried until brown and kept aside
2 Green chillies, lightly fried
A handful of mint leaves
Lemon juice
PROCEDURE
Put mutton, onions, garlic, salt, chili powder, ground coriander, turmeric and water in a heavy based saucepan or
pressure cooker. Cook for 20 minutes on high flame, stirring continuously (bhunaoing) or until all the water including
the water from the chopped onions has dried up.
1.
Add tomatoes and ginger paste. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring all the time. 2.
Add oil and cook for 10 minutes, again stirring all the time. Add one or two tablespoons of water to prevent gravy
from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
3.
Shut the flame when oil separates from the gravy. 4.
Add the chana dal and red chilli powder to the bhuna gosht prepared above. 5.
Add water to this. Make sure that the water covers around 1 inch above the level of the dal and meat. 6.
Simmer under pressure for 3 whistles. Alternatively cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the dal and meat are
fully cooked.
7.
Open the lid. Sprinkle garam masala powder, adjust the salt and mix thoroughly. Cook on medium flame for around 8.

10 minutes, stirring continuously. Turn off the flame.
Add fresh cream and mix into the Dal Gosht. Cover and let it rest for around 10 minutes. 9.
Serve with lemon juice, fresh mint and brown onions. 10.
This is a wonderful recipe that I have got from the great singer/composer and my brother
from Pakistan, Shafqat Ali. The dish is attractive, delicious and a massive hit with everybody.
The trick is to ensure that Bhuna Gosht is made correctly with a lot of stirring to ensure that
gravy does not get stuck to the bottom of the pan.
You can make a lot of variations to this dish. Change the dal try red lentils, kidney beans or
soaked Bengal gram or a mixture of all the dals. Instead of dal you can also add vegetables like
okra, cauliflower, potatoes, yam or turnips to the Bhuna Gosht to get delightful dishes!
Cooking times of course will vary. You can also replace the tomatoes with yoghurt. Keep trying
and serving. That is what passion is all about. Happy cooking!

MSG is actually a neurotoxin. There are even more people who find themselves understanding of msg
than one could thinkmany dont have any idea themselves but suffer the reactions never being
aware what they can be reacting to. Simply finding a headache is minor with regards to how badly MSG
affects those who are sensitive and perhaps people who find themselves not.
