This is my grandmother's recipe, lost and lesser known. Yet this is much similar to Dum Ka Gosht, an another gem from the Hyderabadi cuisine. It's best enjoyed with simple boiled Rice or Hyderabadi Bagara Khana. It tastes just like Biryani when eaten with Rice.
The preparation is also absolutely simple and easy. A good marination is the key to this lip-smacking, effortlessly made, luscious and succulent Yakhni Gosht that one would fall in love with.
I use it with both Mutton bone-in and Chicken too. It tastes great with both the meat preparations. But still Mutton or Lamb has a slight edge over others. It is rich, creamy, velvety, flavourful and aromatic and is much better and delicious than Chicken or Beef. Do give this a try if you like it. Let's get started right away.

Both the mint and coriander leaves also should be added almost finely chopped along with birista or deep fried onions. Mix all as mentioned under the heading marination and set aside well covered overnight for best results.

3

In a wide vessel, heat just a tablespoon or two of cooking oil. Add the whole spices. Fry for a minute and then add in the well marinated meat.
4

Sauté for about 2-3 minutes on a high and then lower the heat. Let it simmer and cook in it's own juices. Add a cup of hot water halfway through to maintain the consistency. If required, can add more as well.
5

Adjust salt if required. Garnish with more of coriander and mint. Serve it piping hot alongside steamed rice or bagara khana. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
