Today we have with us a very special person who has a lots of importance in my being who I am.
She is the one who guided me through life
She is the one who taught me to find goodness in a person.
She is the one who consoled me when life was rough
She is the one who taught me to laugh in times of difficulties
She is the one who led me by her own example
She is the one who I admire in each part of life
She is one whom I can depend on forever
She is the pillar of strength
That beautiful person is my Mother.
So dear friends, today I have with me my ammi (mother) as a special non blogger person,the first guest post for this event. Ramadan- An event to share.
I am just the narrator of the recipe here. The entire dish is prepared by her. Photographed by my beautiful sister(well well well she also has some surprise for us in store which will be disclosed as this event continues).
So here comes the recipe. Enjoy …….Would love all your kind feedback.

- Close the lid of the cooker & keep it on dum on a medium flame for a minute.(or till one whistle)

- Boneless gosht / mutton works best for this recipe. (But there is no harm in using with bones also)
- Chicken can be substituted for this recipe
- Don’t add water while boiling gosht/mutton. Let it cook in its own juices
- Drain the oil properly from all the veggies.
- Serve hot.
I can try this recipe because its mutton and I like the simply style of preparation. The ingredients are all available easily, in fact always there in my fridge. We simply love mutton and this will be a sell-out instantly.
Yes her life is very inspirational. She was married after her higher secondary school. After marriage she has done all her education & a doctorate too. And this wouldn't be possible without the support of my father who is also an educator.
They both are awesome & have always promoted education of girls in our city since long by going house to house & convincing people to send there daughters to school.
Your mum is amazing! She has achieved so much in her life and must be an inspiration for all.
Nice of her to be featured in your very first guest post. I can see lots of motherly love in this dish :D
