Namkeen gosht is a meat delight hailing from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and its adjoining regions, Afghanistan, the tribal belt, and central Asia, where dishes similar to our local Namkeen Gosht are still enjoyed today, Salt, pepper, and ginger are the main ingredients, hence the flavor and tender bite of the meat, generally cooked after being freshly slaughtered, in Peshawar and its surrounding areas usually cooked with lamb meat with its own fat.
But I cooked here
from mutton because we don’t like lamb’s meat if you like you can follow the same recipe with lamb meat as well as I did some variation
in namkeen gosht by using my own style,namkeen gosht is a
delicious rustic meat dish, Traditionally, small cubes of lamb or goat are
cooked in fat, black pepper, or green chilies and salt is served with the
side of hot naan, and chopped onion.
Here I used some oil with meat fat, additionally ginger garlic paste to remove the meat smell, so let’s start today's recipe.
To prepare this recipe, use papaya paste to tenderize the meat thoroughly. Namkeen gosht should always be cooked slowly over low heat, which seals in the juices and allows it to reach perfection. Try to avoid adding more water; however, if necessary, you can add a small amount to finish the cooking process.
Do not cook on high heat, as this will cause the meat juices to dry out. Additionally, do not use a pressure cooker for this dish. The fat content in the recipe is about 40%, so it is better to use olive oil instead of ghee.
After enjoying namkeen gosht, be sure to drink Qehwa; it will help balance out your calorie intake.
