    Instant Pot Gobi Gosht (Cauliflower & Meat Curry)

    Jul 21, 2022 by Sarah Mirza · 7 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    It's a timeless mystery how delicious Instant Pot Gobi Gosht (Cauliflower & Meat Curry) is, given that it takes less than an hour to prepare. It comes out of the Instant Pot with deep, layered flavors and the goat meat perfectly tender. Serve it alongside fresh chapatis or naan to soak up all the extra gravy, and voila!

    WHAT IS GOBI GOSHT?

    Instant Pot Gobi Gosht Gosht (Cauliflower & Meat Curry) is smattered with spices and Mutton(goat). It all comes together quickly and swimmingly in the Instant Pot. This is my go-to for a Pakistani quick weeknight meal, like Authentic Pakistani Mutton/Goat Karahi (Karahi Gosht), Pakistani Mutton Korma (Qorma), and Pakistani Mutton Stew.

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE MEAT TO COOK?

    If the meat is pinkish it would take 12 minutes in the Instant Pot. However, if the meat is brown it can take up to 25 minutes. On the stovetop, it can take more than one hour just to cook, which is why I highly recommend using a pressure cooker or Instant Pot.

    FAQs

    What is Gobi?

    Gobi is what you call a cauliflower in Urdu.

    Why to sauté cauliflower with oil and spices before?

    We don't want to add raw cauliflower into the gravy because the tastes of the cauliflower will get time to marinate with salt and other spices that will enhance the flavor of the dish.

    Why use one tomato in this recipe?

    One tomato enhanced the taste of the gravy, but if you add two it will be overpowering the taste of the dish.

      What is nigella seeds? If I omit will it still be good? And if I’m doubling quantity do I need to double the water?
      Thanks

        nigella seeds are available at your south asian store. they are black seeds. you may omit I don't think it will be a huge difference. yes! double the quantity of the water.
