This is one of those fool-proof recipes and when we say ‘ANYONE’ can make it, we mean it!!! And the best part – there is no oil involved.

Garam Masala–1 heaping tsp
Coriander Powder –1 tsp

Tips:
1. For a variation of this recipe, use Chicken instead of Lamb, Beef or Goat. See Chicken Doh Pyaza.
hi you both have given lots of recipes for chicken they r really awesome n u two r great chiefs.plz can u give me the recipe for mutton rogan ghosh if possible
I admire you for your work and your effort. But if you are willing to take an honest feedback for this dish, then I am sorry to say but this is definitely not do pyaza. Do pyaza means usage of double the amount of onions and uses a good amount of coriander seeds for the flavoring. Even though this recipe is trying to show a quick version-by no means is it a do pyaza.I would recommend to keep the recipe but change the name.
Is there’nt any vedio for this recipe or am i not able to view it?? :O
Where can i get meat Tenderizer? is there any specific name for that? Thanks
Are all pressure cookers basically the same as far as timing the whistles (old style and new style pressure cooker models)? Will an old pressure cooker take much longer than a newer ones. I am just scared of putting too little water and burning the goat/mutton/lamb.
Hi,
I also live in TX. Was wondering which stores carry uncooked lamb. Walmart ,Kroger and other american stores usually doesn’t carry them(actually I have never seen there). From where do u buy them?
Hi Rakhee,
There are lot of Pakistani Stores that have Meat Shops and it’s usually available there. We live in Dallas area and there is Al Markaz and another one in Plano area.
Thnaks,
This is easy n tasty.
i’m new to my kitchen and recipes so cud anyone just help me wid this question – wat is a meat tenderizer is it yogurt or lemon or any form of liquid that softens the meat?
Meat tenderizer is usually a powder made from papaya. It helps to break down the meat to make it softer.
Hi Leena,
Unfortunately, there is no magic number (time) for the mutton/lamb to get cooked. It depends on the cut, part of the goat/lamb, bones or boneless and so on…
I would definately use a tenderizer o it gets done faster and to speed up the process. And keep cooking on medium heat, stirring occasionally and keep checking till the meat is soft and easy to cut. I can guess it would take about 45 min-1 hr.
Hope that helps!
How long does mutton/lamb take to cook if you don’t have a pressure cooker?
I tried this recipe and wish to say that it was easy to prepare and taste so delicious. The nice aroma during cooking makes people want to salivate. Thank you so much.
