Daal gosht or dal gosht is a popular dish of flavorful, spicy cubed lamb and a blend of herbs. This recipe transforms ordinary lentils into the perfect hearty Indian-inspired dish. It is a Pakistani or North Indian cuisine. This wholesome meaty dish makes a great one-pot meal that can be doubled or tripled for large family gatherings. Add a green salad and you're in for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
1 cup Toor daal
2 pounds (1 kilogram) of lamb (boneless and cubed)
3 tablespoons vegetable cooking oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 onions sliced
1 tablespoon ginger paste
2 tablespoons garlic paste
2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
4 large tomatoes chopped fine or 1 (14.5 ounce) can of chopped tomatoes
Salt to taste
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Let me start by making it a point at a beginning itself. There are two main ingredients and dishes to be made here to make one dish i.e. dal gosht recipe. For this dish you need to make a long list of ingredients. So first, I will start with the list to boil the dal. For that you need toor dal, masoor dal, turmeric and water, boil everything together.
Then, we need whole spices like cinnamon, green cardamom, black cardamom, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cloves and black peppercorns. If you see I have also used star anise or chakri phool and stone flower or dagad phool, as they give brilliant fresh flavors to the daal gosht. However, you can skip it if have no access to it.
The other ingredients we need are onions, tomatoes, ginger paste, garlice paste and gree chillies. Furthermore, we need bay leaves, curry leaves, mint leaves, red chili powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder, water, salt and oil. Curry leaves is actually flavor enhancer of the dal gosht recipe. That different flavor is kicked in by curry leaves only. And no dal gosht recipe is complete without curry leaves.
For Tadka
And we need to make a tempering i.e. tadka too. For that you require, cumin seeds, red whole chilies, garlic cloves, red chilli powder and ghee.Even in tadka, you may add some more curry leaves, if you wish too
Note: Do not make the dal and mutton together. It may lose all its audacity of flavors which we get differently from both the main ingredients.
