Karahi Gosht - The Authentic Pakistani Cuisine

Karahi Gosht is the famous authentic Pakistani recipe. Karahi is the spicy lamb curry, where the diced or chopped lamb is cooked in the yogurt based gravy with fresh green chillies, ginger, garlic and spices. For the first time when I had tasted karahi gosht  in the restaurant, i liked it so much, that I wanted to try it at home. I tried it many times but  did not get the same taste for which I was looking for. Finally I found and this time the gosht was really superb.
This is the very simple recipe. You can also try the same recipe with chicken and call as  "Karahi chicken" . Do try it and I am sure you will not stop yourself to cook it again.
