All Aloo Gosht Recipes
Classic Aloo Gosht
Pakistan's everyday comfort curry — tender mutton and golden potatoes simmered in a tomato-onion masala. The dish every Pakistani mother makes differently, and every version is correct.
Beef Aloo Gosht
The beloved Punjabi household staple — beef cooked with potatoes in a spiced tomato-onion gravy that's been feeding Pakistani families for generations. Simple, reliable, and deeply satisfying.
Sindhi Aloo Gosht
Sindh's take on the classic potato-meat curry — with more tomatoes, a brighter red colour, and the warmth of whole spices that define Sindhi cooking. A comforting everyday curry with personality.
Peshawari Aloo Gosht
Peshawar's rustic, lightly spiced aloo gosht — less tomato, more focus on the pure flavour of mutton and potato. A clean, wholesome everyday curry from the heart of KP.
Lahori Aloo Gosht Variation
A classic Lahori aloo gosht with a few authentic upgrades — extra dhania seeds for texture, a proper bhunai technique, and the finishing touch of fresh garam masala that elevates a household staple into something special.
