Finish and Garnish
Add 1-2 slit green chilies along with the onion paste for an extra kick of heat.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh cream (malai) at the very end of cooking for a richer, more luxurious texture.
Replace the cashew paste with a paste made from 2 tablespoons of roasted poppy seeds (khus khus) or skip it. The gravy will be slightly less thick but still delicious.
Mutton is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
Red meat like mutton is a significant source of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron from plants. It helps prevent anemia by supporting red blood cell production.
The slow-cooking process extracts collagen and gelatin from the bone and marrow, which are beneficial for joint health, skin elasticity, and supporting a healthy gut lining.
Lamb or mutton shanks are essential for this dish. The bone and marrow are key to the authentic flavor and rich texture of the gravy. Do not substitute with boneless meat.
Yes, it works wonderfully. Use the 'Sauté' mode for browning the onions and meat. Then, secure the lid and cook on 'High Pressure' for 45-50 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release.
After the meat is fully cooked, simply remove the lid and simmer the gravy on medium heat for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the excess water to evaporate and the gravy to thicken to your desired consistency.
Nalli Gosht is a rich, indulgent dish, high in protein from the mutton but also high in fats due to the ghee and cooking process. The bone marrow provides collagen and minerals. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, typically on special occasions.
A single serving of Nalli Gosht (one shank with gravy) contains approximately 550-650 calories, depending on the size of the shank and the amount of ghee used.
Absolutely! The flavors actually deepen and improve overnight. You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
