I have half a pound of goat meat (don’t laugh at me )
I don’t have a pressure cooker.
I don’t have the shan masala (if I did I wouldn’t be asking here :hinna: ) but I do have the basic masalas like namak lal mirch haldi garam masala paprika etc) and of course onions tomatoes etc
so pleeeeeease give me a recipe, with exact quantities of onions tomatoes spices etc…thanks!
Hmmm....Sara, if the karahi gosht usually turns out well when you make it with the Shan Masala.....then it would be more of a risk for you (I think) to make the dish without it. (And I could be wrong). Maybe consider cooking something else and save the karahi gosht for another time.
marinate your gosht in ginger-garlic, haldi, kutti mirchain and salt for half hour or so.
In a karahi, heat oil, bhuno 4 chopped tomatoes, whole red chillies until oil separates. Add the marinated meat, you may need to add some water, and cook on med-low until tender. If there's more water, increase the heat and bhuno until desired masala level is reached. Lower flame again, add 2-3 spoons kauri methi, bhuno, garnish with slit green chillies and dhaniya.
There one other home made masala you can add at kasuri methi stage:
dry roast 1 tsp zeera, 1 tsp whole coriander and 3 dry red mirch until you smell the zeera..grind coarsely in a coffee grinder or with a mortar pestle. It gives a zing and a very traditional aroma to the dish.
In a karahi, heat oil, bhuno 4 chopped tomatoes, whole red chillies until oil separates. Add the marinated meat, you may need to add some water, and cook on med-low until tender. If there's more water, increase the heat and bhuno until desired masala level is reached. Lower flame again, add 2-3 spoons kauri methi, bhuno, garnish with slit green chillies and dhaniya.
Ok...how long does it take for the meat to cook?
and what's kasuri methi? I have methi dana (they're yellow), and whats kutti mirchein?
kasuri methi is dry methi...but if you don't have it don't substitute with methi daana.
Kutti mirchain are crushed red chillies as opposed to chilli powder. You can use either.
Gosht could take anywhere from 45mins to and hour..and as you're cooking with tomatoes here, it'll take longer.
my goat meat takes forever and half a day to tenderize if cooked as is ..... so I've begun to use meat tenderizer (can find it at practically any grocery store) and that makes the cooking time approx 30-40 mins.
otherwise my recipe is almost exactly the same as niksiks. only diff is that I don't marinate ahead of time in ginger/garlic/haldi ... and I substitute red chilii powder and no kasuri methi (Ive been out for ages). Do use the whole masala ... the dry roasted/crushed cumin, whole coriander seeds .... that makes it awesome!
