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
  11. Red Chili powder - 2tsp
  12. Turmeric - 1tsp
  13. Salt - as per taste
  14. Oil - 3tbsp

Method:

Preparation:

  • Cut mutton roughly into bite size pieces and wash well.
  • Chop onion and tomatoes.
  • Soak Tamarind in water for sometime and remove the pulp.
  • Slit green chilies, remove curry leaves and chop a few coriander leaves.
  • In a bowl take besan and add enough water making it into a thin paste.

Cooking:

  • In a pressure cooker put oil, mutton, onion along with ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, salt and a cup of water, cook it for 10mins. Remove the lid. If you wish you can continue cooking in the pressure cooker or transfer the contents to another vessel and then proceed.
  • Add tomatoes and cook till they become soft.
  • Now add tamarind pulp, green chilies, coriander leaves, curry leaves and shahjeera. Cook till it comes to a boil.
  • Now add the besan paste while constantly stirring and let it cook for another 5 minutes before switching off the flame.
  • Serve hot with rice
