Andhra Special Kakdi Gosht ka Salan

                                  Kakdi Gosht ka Salan

     Kakdi Gosht ka Salan (Dosakaya Mutton) is a typical Andhra Recipe which is usually made with seasonal yellow round cucumber and mutton. Yellow round cucmbers (dosakaya/kakdi) are often tangy in taste and impart wonderful flavour when cooked in combo with lamb meat (mutton). This is a rich, spicy and tangy gravy-based recipe and tastes best when served with warm rice.

    Licious meats and seafood are 100% halal, fresh, cleaned and cut in wide varieties for every preference. The meat you get is tender and wastage free, nothing extra apart from the meat that you order – making it a great value for money. 

    Licious meats are all vacuum sealed and packed to retain the freshness of the meat. When I opened the pack, I saw that the meat was very well cleaned and ready to use.  I just rinsed it thoroughly with fresh water and left it to marinate. In no time, with little multi-tasking I can able to pull off a delicious surprise celebration dinner for my BFF. Here is the recipe for delicious and licious Kakdi Gosht ka Salan
