Re: HOW DO you make aloo gosht?
This is how I make Aloo gosht:
Finely chop a LARGE onion and saute it in oil (say 3-4 tbsp). If you're running short on time you can also just puree the onion and saute that. I find that the pureed onion takes a longer time to brown/ change color, as opposed to chopped onion. The rule for a great gravy is to finely chop the onion.
When it has gone transparent, put in your khara garam masala. Like cloves, whole black pepper, cinnamon stick and black cardamom (1-3). Fry this for a while and add a tbsp of the ginger/ garlic mix to it and fry that too for a few seconds. Now add the meat. Bhoonify it for a few minutes. Once it has gone from red to brown, add a tbsp of yogurt to it and bhoonify it again. I sometimes also use like a tbsp of tomate paste. (whatever you have on hand).
Now add all the masalas: red chilli powder, corriander powder and tumeric. I don't add the cumin powder, I don't like the smell it gives to the salan. I also don't use garam masala in my cooking (burns my chest). Add a little water to this and bhoonify on medium high. When you see the water begins to evaporate and the masala thickens, add a little more water. Do this a few times, until you can't really smell the rawness of the masalas. (especially the corriander powder, it has this certain smell, you should be able to tell).
Lastly add salt to it. Stir/ cook for a bit and then add enough water to it and put the lid on and let it cook on low heat till the meat isn't cooked and soft all the way. The better alternative is to do all the above steps in a pressure cooker, so you can just switch that on after bhoon-ing the salan and have your meat cooked in 20 mins or so!
Meanwhile peel/ slice your potatoes. Put them in a bowl of water for a bit. You can skip this step if you wish. When you see that your meat has cooked almost all the way (but not completely) put in the potato. Slit a few green chillies and put those in too and add just enough water to cover the potates if you find the salan is not enough liquid to cook the potatoes.
Lastly, let all this cook for 10 mins or so until the potatoes are done. When you serve it, just do a sprinkling of chopped cilantro, green chillies and finely chopped ginger. (
..and that's how I make aluu gosht :)
