Dabba Gosht

I love Dabba Gosht. You will hardly find someone who would not like it. Making dabba is not that simple. The mutton pieces need to be soft so that they melt in the mouth.  If you’ve tasted it you know it’s unmatched, unparalleled, unique, inimitable – the ultimate amongst mutton dishes in Indian Cuisine. It’s a rare, exquisite, delicious, succulent, melt-in-the-mouth boneless mutton delicacy dish and only very few select eateries feature it on their menu.
