Potato Meat Curry (aloo Gosht)

Ingredients

  • 500g mutton or beef, cut into pieces
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tomatoes, pureed
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
  2. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a few minutes until the raw smell disappears.
  3. Now add the meat pieces and brown them on all sides.
  4. Stir in the tomato puree, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the oil separates from the masala.
  5. Whisk the yogurt and add it to the pot, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.
  6. Add enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Add the cubed potatoes and garam masala. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the curry reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with naan or rice.
