Kadhai Gosht is a Mughlai dish, quite popular in wedding menu. Most Mughlai and Punjabi restaurants serves this dish.. This slow cooked mutton in a thick gravy tastes delight with every mouthful. This gravy is aromatic and flavourful too.

It is very popular in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh...Karahi or Kadhai Gosht is traditionally served in a wok like pan called karahi/kadhai, hence the name karahi/kadhai gosht. 

It is Made with lots of  spices and ingredients, like onions,capsicum, tomatoes also important in the recipe. You can even try the same ingredients and method with chicken to make chicken karahi recipe. But I love to cook it with mutton. The mutton pieces are first fried in oil and you can also add  fat to it,(though I don’t use it,happy with the result) and then the tomato is added and cooked further with other spices. In all mutton based recipes need onions, but in karahi gosht, onion is n’t necessary. So,you can skip it and cook..totally the flavor and taste of karahi is just amazing.
