Raarha Ghosht ~ Special Mutton Curry

5- Raarha GhoshtPin

 

Somehow, good days always seem to come to an end much faster than you would like it to. My parents went back after a month’s stay yesterday morning and dreading going back home, I took the kids out to their favorite play area, and then got a few things done for the car plus a little bit of shopping. Nothing really helped me actually – a lot of things are very peripheral, you think they would help you overcome when they really don’t! 🙂 It took me time to go off to sleep but then I told myself that I am not alone as far as not having parents close by is concerned. All those who stay abroad miss their parents irrespective of how your relationship is with them… Also I consider myself unromantic, as seeing a lot of red all around thanks to February 14 being Valentine’s Day is making me sick in my stomach. 😀 I am sorry, but I can’t help it… hehe…

 

Coming to today’s recipe, I have no clue why the curry is called so, but when I saw this recipe in one of my cookbooks called “The Indian Bible”, I had to make it. Actually what intrigued me was how adding fennel at the end, since normally we add fennel at the beginning of making the dish by spluttering it in oil, just like in this recipe. The yogurt also gives a nice tange to the curry. It is simple to make, so do try it next time you get your hands onto some nice mutton and pair it with some plain rice – truly yum!

  1. Yum! I have began to like mutton and have made some curries each time adding something different to make just to experiment and I had once marinated the mutton in yoghurt and fennel too..it is yum! fennel is mostly added in bengali cuisine and it gives a very distinct taste…. do you know when a recipe calls for fennel powder, and I get lazy.. i still add just the seeds 😛 Reminds me I should get a small batch powdered.. 🙂

      I love mutton but then it is so expensive and difficult to get good mutton that we buy only when the craving hits really hard… hehe… Adding the powder would spread the flavor, more than the seeds… 🙂 Thanks a lot dear as usual for your paragraph like comment… 😛

  5. We are romantic but not to the extend of flaunting on social media. Love we believe we should appreciate instead of announcing to the whole world. Mutton curry always makes me wobble. I just so love this thick mutton curry.

    Gorgeous curry! Mixing the fennel with yogurt & adding it at the end is typically done in Kashmiri dishes.
