This tasty mutton curry  is heavily influenced by Pakistani style of cooking. The freshly pounded spices gave it a real authentic flavor. Tender morsels of lean mutton or lamb tossed over an iron skillet with most exotic spices and yogurt, crushed garlic and ginger root, then covered in light tomato onion curry.

After eating it, I often thought to make it at home and finally now I tried and got it very similar to that actual taste. It has a little spicy taste due to use of green chilies. My whole family also like it. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste. Goes great with Roghni Naan, salad and Mint raita. A scrumptious dinner !!

Bushra, I have been following your blog on and off. But i could not stay away from thanking you for this wonderful recipe. I tried this for the first time yesterday and my husband loved it. Being a veggie lover, i mostly cook veg dishes and not an expert in Non- veg cooking. But now i can proudly say i can cook restaurant style tawa gosht. It is always difficult to find recipes to follow exactly. Because most of them adjust the flavours according to their choice. And i cant do the same with non-veg dishes. Thank you again so much.

Hi Veena,Thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment here. Appreciate it so much 🙂
Glad to know that you find the recipes here suiting to your taste.

Aisha says:

Hi,i tried this mutton gosht came out great..thanks for the recipe..but the only thing is i made exactly the way you mentioned but did not get the colour as in your picture..

Hi, Aisha
Happy to know that you liked the tawa gosh, thanks a lot for letting me know about it.

Regarding the colour, I think its because of the chilli powder I use. Please try making it with kashmiri chilli powder, I guess it will give more color to the curries.

Take care
Bushrah
