Cook the Mutton and Spices
Pressure Cook the Curry
Finish and Serve
You can substitute mutton with chicken (use bone-in pieces). Reduce the pressure cooking time to 2-3 whistles (about 10-12 minutes).
Add 1-2 peeled and cubed potatoes along with the lotus stem for an even heartier curry.
Increase the number of green chilies or the amount of red chili powder for a spicier version. For a milder curry, reduce or omit the green chilies.
For a richer, creamier finish, you can stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh cream or a paste of 8-10 soaked cashews at the end.
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, essential for muscle building, repair, and overall body function.
Lotus stem is packed with dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes gut health, and helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Red meat like mutton is a significant source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps prevent anemia.
Lotus stem provides essential minerals like potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and copper, which is vital for energy production.
One serving of Bhee Gosht contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used. This estimate includes the mutton, lotus stem, and gravy.
Bhee Gosht can be part of a balanced diet. Mutton is an excellent source of protein and iron. Lotus stem is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, it is a red meat dish and can be high in saturated fat, so it's best enjoyed in moderation.
This curry pairs beautifully with traditional Indian breads like roti, phulka, or naan. It also goes very well with plain steamed basmati rice or a simple jeera rice.
Yes, you can. Follow all steps in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. After adding water in Step 4, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the mutton is completely tender. You may need to add more hot water during the cooking process.
Fresh lotus stem can be found at most Indian or Asian grocery stores. You can also sometimes find it frozen or canned, which can be used as a substitute if fresh is unavailable.
Curdling usually happens if the yogurt is added to a very hot gravy or if it's not stirred continuously. To prevent this, always lower the heat to a minimum, add well-whisked, room-temperature yogurt, and stir constantly for a couple of minutes until it's fully incorporated.
