Lamb Dish at Tavern Mussoorie

hfot2

At The Tavern restaurant in Mussoorie we had a lamb dish involving chunks of lamb in a sauce that included ground lamb. What is the name of the dish, and does anyone have a recipe?

Maha Guru Member jyotirmoy has kindly provided the name and recipe on another India forum site which shall remain nameless:

Here is the recipe for Keema Gosht

You need:
1/2 kg mince
1/2 kg mutton, I prefer chops for this recipe
500 gms yogurt
3 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp red chili powder
2 whole green chili, finely chopped
2 tsp ginger (crushed)
2-3 medium onions, thinly sliced
1-1\2 teaspoon salt
1 large tomato chopped
3 tablespoon cooking oil
3 teaspoon coriander leaves, chopped


1. Mix garam masala, red chili powder and salt in yogurt. Mix well to make paste.
2. Wash meat and pour half of the yogurt paste in a pressure cooker along with chops. Cook under pressure for 3-5 minutes or until the chops are half cooked.
3. Transfer gravy and meat into a saucepan.
4. Add rest of the yogurt paste and mince into pan.
5. Cook on medium fire till water dried up and meat is tender.
6. Add oil and keep cooking for 5 minutes. Add a bit of water if required.
7. Add green chilies, ginger, onion, half of the chopped tomato and cook further 5 minutes.
8. Add other half of tomato and fresh chopped coriander. Cook further for 3-4 minutes.

Isn't keema usually all ground meat - no chunks?

KABAARY

True.

My guess is, the dish was rara gosht.

In Picture Palace, on the south side of the Mall, between the Picture Palace itself and Sai Baba Temple. One flight up.

Good food, although we (who are stuffy old farts) found the music a little loud.

Yeah, keema is mince and gosht is usually chunks, I believe.

The recipe above has both and we think it is the dish we had at The Tavern.

Rara gosht looks good, but the recipe we found didn't include both mince and chunks. We'll try it too, though.

Thanks,

Gosht just means red meat.
You're right about Keema gosht - it has chunks and ground meat.
