Chutney Gosht

It was an evening with little mood to cook but no mood to eat the usual or even a take-out. I decided to attempt Chutney Gosht since it sounded like a good diversion from the usual mutton curries, although not really out-of-the-box. Herbs give it a humble aroma, while the chillies balances the flavor. I love the addition of curry leaves – you’ll know why when you prepare this recipe 🙂
