Dal Gosht Recipe Mumbai Style

Difference between Daal Ghosht and Dalchaa

Actually, there is not a great differentiation but a little similarity between them. Daal gosht is also made using black lentil / gram i.e. kaali dal, maash ki dal or dhuli urad dal. While, Dalcha is made using chana dal only. You may or may not add Lauki or dudhi to dalchaa as well as dudhi dal gosht recipe.

Mumbai Style Dal Gosht Ingredients:

Let me start by making it a point at a beginning itself. There are two main ingredients and dishes to be made here to make one dish i.e. dal gosht recipe. For this dish you need to make a long list of ingredients. So first, I will start with the list to boil the dal. For that you need toor dal, masoor dal, turmeric and water, boil everything together. Then, we need whole spices like cinnamon, green cardamom, black cardamom, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cloves and black peppercorns. If you see I have also used star anise or chakri phool and stone flower or dagad phool, as they give brilliant fresh flavors to the daal gosht. However, you can skip it if have no access to it. The other ingredients we need are onions, tomatoes, ginger paste, garlice paste and gree chillies. Furthermore, we need bay leaves, curry leaves, mint leaves, red chili powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder, water, salt and oil. Curry leaves is actually flavor enhancer of the dal gosht recipe. That different flavor is kicked in by curry leaves only. And no dal gosht recipe is complete without curry leaves.

And we need to make a tempering i.e. tadka too. For that you require, cumin seeds, red whole chilies, garlic cloves, red chilli powder and ghee.Even in tadka, you may add some more curry leaves, if you wish too Note: Do not make the dal and mutton together. It may lose all its audacity of flavors which we get differently from both the main ingredients.
