Hi, this is Smita Deo, and welcome to 'Get Curried'.
Today, let's see how to make the Himachali dish,
'The Chha Gosht'.
For the Chha Gosht, I've taken 750 gms of Mutton.
To that, I'm going to add 1 Bay Leaf.
And I'm going to crush 1/2 inch of Cinnamon.
Going to crush 4 Cloves.
Add that as well.
2 Black Cardamoms.
Crush that as well.
And this also to the Mutton.
A tsp of Garlic Paste.
A tsp of Ginger Paste.
1/2 a cup of Yogurt.
And some Salt.
Mix this well.
And we'll leave the meat in this marinade to rest for at least 3 to 4 hours.
It's been 4 hours that we had let the meat marinate.
Now, let's get on with the curry.
For the curry, I'm going to heat 3 tbsp of Mustard Oil.
Let's wait for the Mustard Oil to get really hot and smoky.
The oil is nice and hot.
I'm going to reduce the flame.
And I'm going to add a pinch of Asafoetida to this,
That is Hing.
A tsp of Coriander Seed Powder.
1 inch Ginger, that I've finely chopped.
3 Green Chillies, slit.
A tsp of Red Chilli Powder.
And immediately, I'm going to add 2 Onions that I've sliced.
Let's fry the Onions till they are soft and translucent.
Now I will soften in the Onions,
I don't want the masala to get burnt,
So, I'm going to add 2 tbsp of water to this.
Mix this well, and continue cooking the Onions.
If you feel that the masala is burning,
Again, you can add 1 or 2 tbsp of water.
I'm going to cover this and cook for another minute.
Till the onions cook a little faster and softer.
The Onions have got nice and soft.
Let's add Gram Flour to this,
I've taken 3 tbsp of roasted gram flour.
I'm going to add this.
Mix this well.
And then, I'm going to add the marinated meat.
And now just, let's sear the meat in this.
Let's add 1/2 a tsp of Turmeric Powder.
A tsp of Coriander Seed Powder.
1/2 a cup of Yogurt more.
Mix this.
So till the Oil separates,
Now, we're going to keep frying this Mutton in this Masala.
As you can see on the sides, the oil has separated.
As you can see this masala has got a lovely sheen on this...
...because of the oil.
Now, let's add 250 ml of water to this.
Mix it well.
Since I'm going to be slow cooking this mutton,
I feel I need to add a little more water,
So, I'm going to add 100 ml more.
And salt to taste.
Remember, in the marinade we've already added Salt.
So, adjust the salt accordingly now.
Mix this well.
Let's cover this and cook,
Till the mutton is done.
Occasionally we'll have to stir this,
So that the curry doesn't burn at the bottom.
I've kept the flame on a medium low.
Now, let's wait for the meat to get cooked.
We had kept the mutton to cook for almost an hour.
Let's see if its done.
Oh, there's a beautiful layer of oil floating on the curry.
And the meat is cooked as well.
Let's shut the flame and remove it in a serving bowl.
Let's garnish it with some freshly chopped Coriander Leaves.
How gorgeous is this looking.
And the Chha Gosht is ready to be served.
It goes amazingly well with the steamed rice.
Do try this recipe and let me know.
