    Pakistani Mutton Stew

    Jul 18, 2022 by Sarah Mirza · Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Pakistani Mutton Stew is incomparable to any other stew in the world. Pakistani Mutton Stew is a mix of whole and powder spices wrapped around in a delicious gravy. 

    WHAT IS MUTTON STEW?

    Mutton Stew is a mix of powder and whole spices wrapped around in an impeccable gravy. The mutton is cooked with copious onion, giving it a unique kick unlike Authentic Pakistani Mutton/Goat Karahi (Karahi Gosht), Achari Chicken (The Best), or Pakistani Mutton Masala Curry which are strictly Pakistani tomato-based curries. 

    WHICH TYPE OF MEAT TO USE?

    For the best results with this recipe, the mutton (goat) should be of high quality. Make sure when buying the mutton that the meat is pinkish.

    HOW LONG DOES THE MEAT TAKE 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.
