Tamatar Ghosht

I honestly have no idea when, where, or how my mum came up with this recipe.  I just remember that one Sunday instead of the usual mutton biryani for lunch, she served us tamatar ghosht with Khushka.  At first, we were not very happy because, honestly, nothing compares to biryani..ever!! But,surprisingly, it was well received and appreciated by all.  It has simple flavors but makes you want to have just one bite more even though you are stuffed.


















Tamatar Ghosht

Ingredients:
1 kg mutton, medium sized pieces
1/2 tomatoes, pureed
2 large onions, finely chopped.
6 tsp ginger garlic paste
3 green chillies, slit
2 tsp coriander powder
3 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp oil
salt

Method:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker.  Fry the onions till golden brown.

Add the ginger-garlic paste, chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt (3 tsp at least).  Mix and saute for 5 minutes.

Add the mutton and chillies and cook for 5 more minutes.  Addd 250 mL of water and pressure cook for 5 whistles.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a kadai.  Add the tomatoes and cook till the oil floats on top.  Add the mutton and simmer on a low flame till the gravy is thick.

This goes very nicely with khushka or rotis.
