Dabba Gosht (Bohra way)

Dabba Gosht,  literally meaning a luscious mutton gravy served in containers generally metal. ( In Gujarat, we call it dabba ) . A traditional bohra dish , tender and juicy boneless chunks of lamb soaked in white sauce ,which is often cooked on  occasions in almost all bohra households. Dabba Gosht is served as main course or a "Khaaras" ( a typical bohra word used for spicy side dish served along with dessert and main dish) in a Bohra Thaal.

It's simple, very quick and amazing. Spicy , flavorful with all the right reasons to be present on special days which is when mutton curry makes it more celebrating. I knew right there that I needed to share this on the blog as you guys would love it! I have made it unlimited times and every time we ended up polishing it before I could take the right picture. But we are finally here with the best Bohra mutton curry for all  food seekers and meat lovers. If you go to Bhindi bazaar in Mumbai, you find several grocery shops selling readymade Dabba Ghost spice packets but I beleive that the real charm of creating and recreating the recipe is much fun rather than buying the monotonous spice packets.
