What Is Shalgam Gosht?
Shalgam gosht is a flavorful Pakistani meat curry made with turnips and mutton or lamb. The word gosht comes from the Persian word for “meat” or “flesh”.
Shalgam gosht is a traditional Kashmiri dish. This delectable dish is especially popular during the winter season when the best turnips are in season.
Why To Make Shalgam Gosht?
This dish cannot be missed because turnips have a limited season. This is a flavorful winter special that pairs well with boiled rice, roti, or naan.
This dish can be made in a variety of ways; some people like gravy, while others prefer more bhuna hua. Nevertheless, I am going to share my mother’s recipe, which is Dehli Wala Style (if you know what I mean), and it tastes great.
