Aalu Ghosht ka Salan is a delicious indian mutton curry . This curry is a soulful meal when had with some hot roti and rice.
There are many of my memories associated with this dish. It was a time when I was eleven years and I had taken up a fancy of cooking different dishes. As you all know, my Naani was my cooking teacher and I have learnt the basics of cooking from her. She would stand beside me in the kitchen directing me and showing me the importance of each step. The way her old hands taught me to hold the ladle and when to add the spices, the importance of bhunav ( frying the meat) always kept me excited and to gain more of her knowledge.
The success of this recipe of Aalu Ghosht ka salan lies in the bhunav ( Frying) of the meat with spices. It is all about time and patience.
