Dhaniya Meat (Goat Meat Cooked in a Cilantro Sauce)
This is one of my all time favorite dishes-ever. I grew up eating this and learnt later my maternal grandfather used to enjoy it immensely as well. I love it for its simplicity and amazing flavor.
This is my first time making this delicious dish and realized how simple it is to make.
The dish is made with one of my favorite combinations- cilantro, onion, garlic and green onions. The mixture imparts amazing flavors and color. It is as simple as that.
If you are not able to find goat meat, use lamb, beef or chicken- the basic flavor will be the same. I introduced the dish to my daughter who love it. The taste brought me back to my childhood. I love how food invokes delicious memories…
Enjoy this dish…

Mutton with Yogurt Gravy
As I have mentioned before, goat is my favorite meat to eat. I can eat it everyday! I love the earthy, falling off the bone taste- yum!
This particular recipe is Kashmiri inspired. A lot of Kashmiri dishes are yogurt based. They also have, fennel and ginger powder. These particular spices give the dish a savory yet sweet flavor- very distinct indeed. It is a flavor I absolutely love and according to me, it goes perfectly well with goat meat.
If you don’t have access to goat meat- by all means use dark meat chicken or any other stew meat- lamb or even beef will be delicious- but nothing like goat.
I also used a bit of baked onions in the gravy. The onions give the dish a great, long cooked flavor.
Overall the dish was delicious. I made fresh rotis and that is all we needed…

Achari Gosht- Pickled Goat Meat
My Mom has been making this dish as long as I can remember. I particularly remember eating this goat dish when we went for picnics or a train ride to visit my cousins. It was cooked for those occasions since it was essentially ‘pickled’. It doesn’t go bad and can be kept outside for a long time. We would eat it room temperature and it was delicious.
It has a strong flavor of cooked onions with the tomato paste and is cooked for a while to cook off any water coming out of the vegetables. It is a concentrated flavor and so a little goes a long way. Typically Indian pickles consist of onion seeds, fennel seeds, etc. This dish has those flavors. Vinegar is added to finish the dish.
This dish can be made with any kind of stew meat. You can make it with dark meat chicken as well. To me, the goat tastes the best- I guess since I grew up eating it- that is what I like.
Looking at the list of ingredients, it may seem like a complicated dish- it isn’t. It does take a while to make it but it is totally worth it. It keeps for a while in the fridge so it is great to make a big batch and eat it once in a while. It is perfect for when there is nothing to eat and you don’t have time to cook anything. Take some pickled mutton out and eat it with a naan- yum!!!
