Add Cluster Beans and Final Cook
Finish and Serve
Replace mutton with 400g of paneer or 300g of mushrooms. Add them along with the cluster beans and pressure cook for only 1 whistle.
Add 2-3 slit green chilies along with the ginger-garlic paste for an extra kick of heat.
For a richer, creamier texture, add a paste of 10-12 soaked and ground cashews along with the curd.
Use 500g of bone-in chicken instead of mutton. Reduce the initial pressure cooking time to 10-12 minutes (or 2 whistles).
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, crucial for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
Cluster beans (gawar) are packed with dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, helps maintain bowel regularity, and can contribute to stable blood sugar levels.
This dish is a good source of iron and zinc from mutton. Iron is vital for preventing anemia, while zinc supports a healthy immune system.
The use of spices like turmeric, ginger, and cloves provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, which can help combat oxidative stress in the body.
One serving of Gawar Gosht contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of ghee used.
Gawar Gosht can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein from mutton and fiber from cluster beans. However, it is a rich dish due to the red meat and ghee, so it should be consumed in moderation.
Yes, you can. Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. After adding water in Step 3, cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 60-90 minutes, or until the mutton is tender. Then add the cluster beans and cook for another 15-20 minutes until they are cooked through.
Curd can curdle if added to a very hot gravy or if not stirred continuously. To prevent this, always lower the heat to a minimum before adding the whisked curd and stir constantly until it is fully incorporated into the masala.
Yes, you can use frozen cluster beans. There is no need to thaw them. Add them directly to the curry as instructed in Step 4. The cooking time will remain the same.
Gawar Gosht pairs wonderfully with Indian breads like naan, tandoori roti, or chapati. It also goes well with plain steamed basmati rice or jeera rice.
