Dal Gosht Recipe is a combination of chana dal and gosht that is mutton with dal which is a very wonderful combination. This combination is usually found in Hyderabad. It is also found in some regions of Pakistan.

The dal gosht is so tasty that it goes well with rice or Rotis. This recipe is made using wonderful ingredients like onions and yoghurt and I assure you the taste is amazing.

chana dal gosht recipe

   Dal is one of the common food recipe which is served in a meal platter and thalis of south India and north India are incomplete without the dal recipes.

Though most of the dal recipes are vegetarian, however, there are few which are non veg dals such as this particular dal gosht, dalcha recipe and the mutton dalcha on my blog which contain non veg ingredients and are served with many various pulao recipes.

The recipe is a gravy kind of a recipe where the lentils play an important ingredient in making this recipe. There are many recipes which can be made with chana dal but if used along with meat it really makes a delicious recipe.

                          This recipe does take a lot of time but the outcome is so good to taste. I would like my readers to try this recipe as it is a very popular dish in Indian Muslim households and also is a very popular pakistani dish.

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, soak chana dal in water for about half an hour to an hour.
  • In a pressure cooker, add oil and heat it.
  • Add sliced onions and saute till they turn translucent.
  • Add slit green chillies, saute and add ginger garlic paste.
  • Add mutton pieces into it and roast it well.
  • Add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, mix well and cook for few minutes.
  • Add soaked chana dal into it and cook for few minutes.
  • Add beaten yogurt into it and cook for few seconds.
  • Add roasted dry coconut powder and mix well.
  • Cook for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add enough water and pressure cook until the mutton and dal gets tender.
  • Reduce the steam, remove the lid, add garam masala powder, mint leaves and coriander leaves.
  • Cook for a while and switch off the stove.
  • Serve hot with roti or rice.

Notes

1.Soaking dal is an important step as chana dal takes a longer time to tenderize.
2.Even if the dal is not soaked give many whistles to tenderize the dal.
3.Here I have added mutton and chana dal together and pressure cooked it however, the dal can be cooked separately and added to cooked mutton.
4.Additional spices such as corinader seeds powder and cumin powder can be added to enhance the taste.

    Hi this recipe looks easy and delicious.
    How would I make it if I don't have a pressure cooker?

      if you use a pressure cooker it is more better as dal and meat are two things which take long time to get tender but other option is slow cooking that can be done for at least an hour for both of them to get cooked...

    Looks very tasty, I'd love to try it. Is there any alternative to the roasted dry coconut powder I can use? I can only find regular coconut powder in my local shops. Thank you.

      The coconut powder which is available in markets is dry roasted in a pan for few seconds and that I have mentioned as roasted coconut powder...
