Degi aloo gosht isa tasty, aromatic gravy-based curry which is made up of beef, potato, and someother basic ingredients and spices_it is very simple and easy to cook

Mainly aloogosht is a traditional and popular Pakistani non-veg curry, Aloo gosht is a staplestew in every Pakistani home and every home has a different version.

The ingredient is more or less the same, the real difference is in the cooking style,timings, and temperature. What’s more interesting is that no one has an accuraterecipe and everyone cooks through “andaza” which is a visual estimation. So when Icook aloo gosht, it tastes different from my mother's version and that’s lovelyhaving a different taste every time

It is a favorite and common dish inPakistan and is commonly consumed as comfort food in the subcontinent

I cooked this curry in a clay pot as cookingin a clay pot brings the aromatic flavor to the curry as well as I also used gheeto make this becauseghee is considered the key to all traditional type recipes

I used beef in this recipe but can be mutton, lamb, or chicken additionally if you haven’t clay pot so simple to cook it inany utensil pot doesn’tgosht can be served and eaten with bagara rice,zeera rice, zeera raita,chapatis,paratha and naan

Recipe tips:

1. Meat:if you are cooking aloogosht in beef then must choose calf meat which is more tender and juicy thanbeef
2. Potato:nowadays runningsummer days in Pakistan and most countries in the world so choosepotatoes to be very careful as potato taste becomes worst during hot weatherwhile the best potato type is red which is easily available from vegetable vendors and grocery supermarts
3. Clay pot:I prefer to make degialoo gosht in the clay pot because this is ideal for bringing degi taste andflavor to curry
4. Ghee: as I have mentioned aboveall traditional recipes cook well with ghee so choose ghee if there isn’t any healthissue you have
5. Gingergarlic: beef, lamb, or mutton is that meat which takes more time to be tender than chicken orfish_so add fresh chopped ginger garlic instead of paste as it makes tasty tothe curry
6. Spices: as far as possible especially in this degi aloo gosht use homemadeground spices such as degi lal mirch or Kashmiri red chili, coriander powder, turmericpowder,zeera powder, and garam masala if possible to secure your health fromharmful chemicals which are added in masala powder to preserve for a long time
7. Yogurt: try to level bestprepare yogurt at home as it is cheaper price than at the market second thing is that the tasteis also good of homemade yogurt
8. One thing that is more important to keep in mind is thatdon’t overcook the meat as meat is cooked again with veggie
