NAMKEEN GOSHT
Ingredients
- 1 kg goat leg, cut in small cubes
- 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons freshly chopped ginger
- ½ to 1 freshly diced tomato
- 4 to 5 green chillies, slit lengthwise, (optional, but preferable, this gives it a real kick)
- ½ tsp black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- ¼ to ½ cup oil, but with freshly slaughtered meat the animal fat should suffice
Method
Heat oil in a heavy-lidded wok. Fry green chillies and ginger for a minute, adding meat, salt, tomato and black pepper, stir on high heat for a few minutes, until the heat causes the meat to release juices. Seal pot with lid and simmer on low to medium heat for a few minutes, turning the heat to low and cook until meat is tender and falling off the bone.
The meat juices gradually steam and evaporate, sealing in the juices. Slow cook to perfection. Avoid adding water if possible but, if need arises, add a little water to complete the cooking process.
Serve with naan, lemon wedges and sliced onions.
