An important festival for Muslims, Bakrid is celebrated every year. Since Eid-al-Adha is around the corner, it is time to prepare for sumptuous feasting. And who can forget the Khade Masale recipe when it comes to classic traditional Eid dishes? Learn how to prepare a delectable khade masala ka gosht.
What is the Khade Masala?
Khade masala translates into ‘whole spices’ in English, much like the popularly known garam masala or ‘warm spices’ in India. Khade masala is often made by slightly toasting and grinding a blend of quintessential Indian spices such as green and black cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, nutmeg, black pepper, cumin, and coriander seeds, among other spices. Of course, they’re also used whole, as in the case of this particular recipe.
Given that at least a dozen varieties of Indian khada masala or garam masale are prepared in the Indian subcontinent, your version can vary from the rest. Ask your mum what her version is.
Nevertheless, some common spices remain in all the variants ensuring the signature flavour in every dish they are added to. When this khade masala is used while preparing chicken, lamb or mutton recipes, the dish is called khade masala ka gosht. Gosht is the Persian word for ‘flesh’ or meat.
The gravy is often made from tomatoes and onion, along with curd and some whole spices for tempering the oil and aroma.
This lip-smacking red meat delicacy is quite popular during festivals or special occasions and goes well with any Indian bread such as naan, chapati and beyond. It also goes well with plain rice. It is one of the most delicious and wholesome red meat recipes you can prepare for Bakrid.
