Indian Cooking Recipe: Goshtaba
The following are the instructions on how to cook delicious Indian food: Goshtaba
Ingredients:
1. 500 gms boneless mutton
2. 150 gms lard
3. 1 tsp cinnamon powder
4. 1 tsp cardamom powder
5. Salt to taste
6. 300 g curd
7. 1/2 liter bone stock
8. 6-8 seeds of cardamom
9. 3-4 cardamom
10. tbsp desi ghee
11. 150 g Kashmiri onions
12. 1 pod garlic
13. A few strands saffron
Method of Preparation:
Cut the meat into 2.5 cm pieces on a wooden block. Simultaneously, soften the lard by placing it in a bowl of warm water. Pound the meat pieces on a flat stone with a wooden mallet. Add lard at regular intervals so that it mixes evenly with the meat. Continue till all the meat and lard is pounded. Make a paste of the spices and salt with a little water and knead it into the minced meat. Once again, pound the meat on the stone, to convert it into a homogeneous dough-like mass for the goshtaba. Roll the minced meat into Koftas, five cm in diameter. Boil the Koftas in water on low heat for about 20-25 minutes and keep aside.
Gravy Preparation:
Put the curd and bone stock into a pan and cook for 30 minutes. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent curdling and to mix it well. Gradually add all other ingredients, except the saffron, to the gravy. Add the meat Koftas to the gravy and cook for about 20-25 minutes. Add saffron and serve hot.
