Peshawari namkeen gosht

A dish from Peshawar in north Pakistan, namkeen gosht has a clean, fresh flavour that’s down to Peshawaris preferring very little spice and chilli in their robust meat dishes. The flavour comes from the meat fat (consumed for its warming properties in cold, harsh winters). The authentic method of cooking would be on a coal fire in a ‘handi’ (clay pot) or ‘pateli’ (a stainless steel cooking pot), which adds a smoky flavour. This is quite a dry stir-fry, rather than a curry-based dish.
