How To Make Aloo Gosht

mutton

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than mutton.

yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

fresh cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried herbs

Parsley can provide a similar flavor profile.

Curry powder is often less expensive and more accessible.

Add oil to a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, enough to prevent the lamb from sticking.

Once the oil is hot and the ginger starts sizzling, add sliced onions and salt.

Stir the onions until they turn golden brown and slightly translucent.

Add all the spices at once while the onions are cooking, ensuring they coat the onions thoroughly.

Cut the lamb into chunks about 2 inches wide and add to the pan, sealing on all sides and coating with the spice mixture.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the lamb, stirring to coat with the spices.

Add water to the pan, allowing the sauce to thicken as it simmers.

Cover the pan and cook for about 10-15 minutes on medium heat, stirring gently to prevent breaking the potatoes.

Check that the potatoes have softened but remain intact, and reduce the liquid further to achieve a thick gravy.

Once the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, serve the Aloo Gosht, garnished with additional onions for flavor.
