Kakdi Gosht ka Salan

Kakdi Gosht ka Salan | Dosakaya Mutton is a typical Andhra Recipe which is usually made with seasonal yellow round cucumber and mutton. Yellow round cucmbers (dosakaya/kakdi) are often tangy in taste and impart wonderful flavour when cooked in combo with lamb meat (mutton). This is a rich, spicy and tangy gravy-based recipe and tastes best when served with warm rice.

Yesterday, while I was editing pictures for my upcoming blog post, my friend called and surprised me saying, she is on her way to give seminar at office near my house and if things wind up early she will drop by to spend time with me and lil’M. It’s been long since I met her and very recently, she has won Excellence Award for her outstanding performance. I thought of surprising her with a celebration dinner by making her favourite recipes. My friend is a hardcore meat lover and fan of Andhra cuisine. So I thought of pampering her with my signature Kakdi Gosht ka Salan (Dosakaya Mutton) and Guntur Gongura Mutton dishes.
