Mutton Pickle Recipe is a Hyderabadi spicy mutton pickle made with boneless mutton pieces and it has got all the flavors of pickle and is also called as gosht ka achar in Hyderabad.

There are few mutton recipes that are tried with boneless meat and apart from this dish another delicious recipe is mutton fry, shami kabab, mutton kofta, keema recipe.
The achar or pickle is totally mouth watering and Indians love achar the most and so do I. Pickles are something which can be eaten along with plain dals and pickles work as great combination with rice and dal.
Mutton pickle is very special as it is a hyderabadi dish and Hyderabadis make this pickle and store for a couple of days to eat with rice and dal.
The dish does not require too many ingredients and is a spicy dish and spicy flavor can be adjusted according to our needs and has got the flavor of any regular achar.
Achar can be made in large quantity but, especially the gosht ka achar will not last for long as it gets completed very quickly. The recipe requires mutton which should be totally boneless and the process is quite simple.
There are various kinds of achar and every achar is special and tasty. Pickles can be made with vegetables and also with mutton and chicken.
I suggest to try this recipe with less quantity of mutton and then try it out with large quantity of mutton. Mutton pickle simply tastes amazing and irresistible.
I would like to share mutton pickle recipe with my readers and would be glad enough to receive feedback.
Below are simple tips on how to make the pickle without spoiling:
- When meat or mutton is used, never use mutton with bones. Always use boneless mutton that is fresh.
- Make small pieces of the meat and not very large pieces.
- Wash the meat well and cook the meat until there is no water remaining.
- There should not be any water content present after cooking the meat. Therefore, the mutton is roasted in oil to get rid of any tiny amount of water in it.
- The masala when mixed with the mutton should be of proper proportion to avoid any sort of bitter taste due to excess adding of the spices such as methi powder or kalonji powder.
- Here in this recipe I have used onion seeds powder, but one can add mustard powder in place of onion seeds/kalonji/nigella seeds.
