Tamota ma Gos

This tomato and lamb stew with potatoes is one of the most popular ma gos. The tomatoes soften, absorbing the lamb aromas and creating a lovely broth from the bone-in. The tikkhu-khattu-mitthu (spicy-sour-sweet) has an excellent balance, and the potatoes add to the flavour and thicken the gravy. The sauce is rich, and the fresh tomato chunks are soft and lightly sweetened with jaggery to cut the acidity. Tamota ma gos is also the Parsi version of macaroni ma gos,
