"Rosh" means oil or fat in Urdu, and "Gosht" translates to meat. "Rosh Gosht" is a traditional Pakistani and North Indian dish where meat (usually mutton or lamb) is cooked in a gravy that's rich in oil or fat, giving it its name.
The dish typically involves cooking meat with various spices, including but not limited to onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. The slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and flavorful gravy that coats the tender meat pieces.
Rosh Gosht is often served with naan bread, roti, or rice and is a popular dish in many households and restaurants across the region.
