Frequently Asked Questions

What is Khadey Masala ka Gosht? +

Khadey Masala ka Gosht is a slow-cooked mutton stew flavoured with whole spices — cardamom, garam masala, garlic and red chilli — rather than ground masalas. The whole spices give a gentler, layered flavour.

How does the lighter version save calories? +

It swaps part of the mutton for soya chunks, which absorb the gravy and stretch the protein without adding saturated fat. It also uses less ghee. Roughly 98 fewer calories per serving.

Can I make this in a slow cooker? +

Yes — this recipe is designed for low, slow heat. Mix the ingredients, transfer to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until the mutton is fall-apart tender.

What's a healthy substitute for cream in Indian cooking? +

For richness in curries, thick Greek yoghurt stirred in off the heat works best — around 60 kcal per 100g versus double cream's 450 kcal per 100g. For texture in milder sauces (shahi paneer, malai kofta), blended cashew cream keeps the dish dairy-free. Avoid swapping cream for milk in a hot curry — it splits and the sauce loses its texture.
