Method to cook Paalak Gosht
In a medium-sized pan or pressure cooker, heat the oil leave it to temper by adding the cloves and shahi jeera and slit green chillies
As the oil starts to give off a sweet aroma add the onions and sauté till they turn translucent
Now add in the turmeric, ginger garlic paste, salt and chilli powder and give the ingredients a good mix for 2-3 minutes
Then add in the lamb mutton pieces and cook on a medium flame for 5-10 minutes as the meat starts to change colour and gives off water
Add 1/4th cup of water and leave the gravy to cook for 4-5 whistles or if cooking in a pan or gravy pot cover the lid tightly and leave to cook on the low gas flame for 30-40 minutes
At the end of this time, let the cooker cool or uncover the lid of the vessel
The meat should have turned tender and the gravy should have attained a semi-thick consistency
If the gravy looks too runny, leave it to cook on low flame so the water evaporates
Now switch off the flame and dish out the gravy in a serving dish
