Ghosht ki Kadi

                                   This post is especially for my cousin in Canada who wanted help with the dish. Being a blog dedicated to my Mom's recipes this post should have come much much before but still I think it's better late than never. 😉


                                    Talking of the recipe Ghosht ki Kadi is a simple dal sort of a dish which can be enjoyed with Rice. It has a mutton addition that makes it different from the regular dal dishes and also it is very thick in consistency that's why it is a Kadi and not a Dal which is very thin. Check out the Hyderabadi Khatti Dal.

Ingredients:

1. Mutton - 1/4kg
2. Tamarind - roughly a fist 
3. Tomato - 2 to 3 nos
4. Gram flour (or) Besan - 1 1/2 cups
5. Onion - 1 small
6. Coriander leaves - few
7. Green chilies - 3 to 4nos
8. Curry leaves - few
9. Caraway seeds (or) Shahjeera - 1tsp
10. Ginger garlic paste - 1tbsp

13. Salt - as per taste
14. Oil - 3tbsp
