Mutton Dal Gosht Recipe! A traditional and flavorful dish that combines the richness of mutton and the creamy texture of lentils. This recipe is perfect for a hearty meal, offering a comforting blend of spices and tender meat.

My mum would prepare this Dal Gosht Recipe with beef or mutton. We love the creaminess of the lentils and succulent beef in the dish. We prepare this with toor dal/aahaar dal which is soaked for a few minutes before cooking. The mutton or beef mum would pressure cook without any spices.

I have given a slight twist to my Mum’s Dal Gosht Recipe and it’s still amazing. Here’s how you can prepare this delicious and traditional dish at home.

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp oil
  • Salt to taste

Ingredients for Mutton:

  • 500 grams mutton
  • Whole spices:
    • 1″ cinnamon stick
    • 4 cloves
    • 1/4 tsp peppercorns
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 3 tsp chili powder or EI Bottle Masala

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Step by Step Instructions on How to Cook Mutton Dal Gosht

1. Preparing the Dal:

  • Start by washing the toor dal thoroughly and soak it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Next, in a pressure cooker, add the dal, water, turmeric powder, oil, and salt.
  • Cook the dal on medium heat until it is soft and fully cooked. This usually takes about 2-3 whistles. Once done, set it aside.

2. Cooking the Mutton:

  • In another pressure cooker, heat some oil and add the whole spices (cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns). Sauté them until they release their aroma.
  • Add the sliced onion and cook until golden brown.
  • Mix in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a few minutes until the raw smell disappears.
  • Add the chili powder or EI Bottle Masala, coriander powder, and also the turmeric powder. Cook the spices on low heat until the oil starts to separate.
  • Add the mutton pieces and cook them on medium heat until they are browned on all sides.
  • Add enough water to cover the mutton. Pressure cook on low heat for 5 minutes after the 1st whistle until the mutton is tender.

3. Combining the Dal and Mutton:

  • Once the mutton is cooked, add the prepared dal to the cooker. Mix well to combine all the flavors. Also, stir in the coconut paste and tamarind extract
  • Let the mixture simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the dal to absorb the flavors of the mutton and spices.
  • Adjust the seasoning if needed.

4. Final Seasoning:

  • In a small pan, heat the ghee or oil and fry the sliced onion until it turns brown and crispy.
  • Pour this fried onion along with the oil over the Mutton Dal Gosht.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh chopped coriander leaves.
