The mutton was left in the freezer for something special. My friend Jeet had prepared a Bhuna Ghosht recently and it looked droolicious. His friend Inderpreet Nagpal had shared the recipe and I had to give it a try.
Now I have one version already on the blog but this recipe sounded very tempting so I thought why not!! Decided to go all guns ablaze and paired this with my fav butter garlic naan. Ameya again comes to my rescue and gives me the perfect recipe.
