Kadhai Namak Mandi is a special gosht from Peshawar. It is also known as Namkeen Gosht as it is little bit saltier than regular mutton dishes. This mutton is cooked in a very unique style due to the high fat content. Lamb pieces are added to the kadhai directly and allowed to cook in its own fat and then salt, tomatoes are added followed by dry spices. All these are slow cooked till the mutton absorbs the spices.
Kadhai Namak Mandi is salty, spicy and delicious.
