Dhania ghosht recipe

 Ingredients:

500 grams (about 1 pound) bone-in mutton or chicken pieces (you can use other meats as well)

1 cup fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped

1 large onion, finely sliced

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, minced

2-3 green chilies, chopped (adjust to your spice preference)

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)

Salt to taste

3 tablespoons cooking oil

Water, as needed

Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

In a large pan or pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become golden brown.

Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pan. Sauté for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.

Add the mutton or chicken pieces to the pan. Cook until the meat is nicely seared and browned on all sides.

Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the meat. Mix well to coat the meat with the spices.

Lower the heat and add the chopped green chilies and half of the chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro). Mix well.

Add the plain yogurt to the pan. Stir to combine, ensuring the meat is coated with the yogurt and spices.

Pour in enough water to cover the meat. Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat until the meat is tender and fully cooked. This may take 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of meat and size of the pieces.

Once the meat is cooked, check the consistency of the gravy. If it's too thin, you can continue to simmer until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Add the remaining chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) to the dish. Mix well and let it simmer for a few more minutes.

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or red chili powder if needed.

Once the dish is ready, garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves.

Serve the Dhania Ghosht hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.

Enjoy your flavorful Dhania Ghosht! Remember to adjust the spices according to your preference, and feel free to experiment with other meat choices if you'd like.
