#post18 - This is a Pakistani style mutton curry called Balti Gosht, which is very popular in North India, Pakistan and UK. This yummy dish can be enjoyed with plain biryani, pulao, kulcha, naan or tandoori roti. It is unsure how the name originated. According to some sauces, it is derived from the fact that it was cooked / served in an iron wok resembling a balti (bucket). Few are of the opinion that it has it's origin from a place in Pakistan called Baltistan. Whatever be the reason, this yummy mutton curry is a must try recipe. #goldenapron
