DAAL GOSHT (Goat meat cooked in lentils)
Lentils with meat is as ancient as we can think, Italians make lentils with sausages, French make a similar dish as well and we all love Chilli which is the Mexican version of the same family. I am sharing a recipe which is an absolute favorite of mine , it is the Indian sibling of the same Lentil-Meat family and is devoured in various parts of India.
Daal Gosht as the name itself says refers to Meat cooked in Lentils , generally meat is slow cooked with Lentils and spices letting its aroma into the thick gravy of lentils and it tastes heavenly.
I am sharing with you the Instant Pot version of the same dish, I have also tried the same recipe in a Pressure cooker and it tastes wonderful. This is a good recipe considering it takes less than an hour, you can always invest some time on your weekends to enjoy this delicacy, telling you this dish would never let itself down.
