For the unversed, Gosht Ka Salan is a variation of mutton curry where succulent mutton pieces are tossed in a rich onion-tomato and yogurt-based gravy that gives a fiery, creamy and aromatic burst of flavours to the taste buds. Traditionally, the meat is slow cooked on low flame to get the best flavours out of the dish. However, you can also pressure cook if you are pressed for time and want it quick. The choice is yours! So, without any further, let's get started with the recipe. Read below.
Here's How You Can Make Gosht Ka Salan | Hyderabadi Gosht Ka Salan Recipe:
