    Pakistani Arvi Gosht (Instant Pot) is a classic delicacy. Arvi is known as Taro root -- an extremely fibrous and eclectic vegetable. It is used immensely throughout Pakistani cuisine, a must-have ingredient in dishes spanning the subcontinent. In my family, and in many others, Arvi Gosht (mutton) is a nonnegotiable ingredient. In a comical twist, the Taro root is the 'root' of many cultural cuisines, including many outside of the South Asian subcontinent. Today, we explore one of the most popular -- and delectable -- manifestations.

    WHAT IS PAKISTANI ARVI GOSHT?

    Pakistani Arvi gosht is a curry that has Taro root with mutton (goat meat). It's a curry that is wrapped deliciously in spices and seasoning. Drawing from my family's experiences, I've seen how mixing meats with vegetables can enhance the overall taste of a recipe (such as with Aloo Matar Keema (Potatoes, Peas, and Ground Beef Curry).

    TO CUT THE ARVI PROPERLY?

    • Peel the skin off and make crosses on the taro roots -- one on top and the other on bottom.
    • Cut the Taro Roots in halves.

    • Take them out and set them aside for later.

    • Next add cumin seeds, nigella seeds, black peppercorns, black cardamoms, green cardamoms, cloves and mix well.

    Arvi gosht holds an endearing place within my family. It reminds me of my late paternal grandmother, who used to make the most immaculate Arvi Gosht and passed the recipe down to my mother. Her most famous recipe on the blog is Authentic Kofta Curry (Meatball Curry). By the way, did you happened to catch my viral Pakistani Limca recipe? It's Amazing!
