Ingredients

For Meat & Lentils

  • ½ kg mutton or beef (bone-in for flavor)

  • 1 cup chana daal (soaked for 1 hour)

  • 1 medium onion (finely sliced)

  • 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)

  • 1 tbsp ginger paste

  • 1 tbsp garlic paste

  • 3–4 tbsp oil

Spices

  • 1 ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp red chilli powder

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp coriander powder

  • 1 tsp cumin powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp garam masala

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 2 cloves

For Tempering (Tarka)

  • 2 tbsp ghee or oil

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

  • 3–4 dried red chilies

  • 1 tsp crushed garlic (optional)

For Garnish

  • Fresh coriander

  • Green chilies (slit)

  • Julienned ginger


🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Meat

  1. Heat oil in a pot.

  2. Add onions and fry until light golden.

  3. Add meat, ginger, and garlic paste. Fry for 4–5 minutes.

  4. Add tomatoes and all spices. Cook until tomatoes soften.

  5. Add 2–3 cups of water.

  6. Cover and cook:

    • Mutton: 35–40 minutes

    • Beef: 45–55 minutes

    • Pressure cooker: 20 minutes

Meat should be tender before adding lentils.


Step 2: Cook the Lentils

  1. Add soaked chana daal to the pot.

  2. Add 1 more cup of water if needed.

  3. Cover and cook for 20–25 minutes until daal becomes soft but not mushy.

  4. Mix gently—daal should keep its shape but blend with gravy.


Step 3: Prepare the Tarka (Tempering)

  1. Heat ghee in a small pan.

  2. Add cumin seeds, dried red chilies, and optional crushed garlic.

  3. Fry just until fragrant.

  4. Pour the sizzling tarka over the daal gosht.


Step 4: Final Touch

  • Add green chilies and coriander.

  • Sprinkle garam masala.

  • Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
