Mutton Kunna- Chinyoti style
Mutton Kunna-Chinyoti style
Mutton Kunna or Kunna Gosht is believed to be originated from a small city in Chiniot in Punjab, Pakistan, also popularly consumed in India. It is a meat dish that is authentically slow-cooked with several masalas in a claypot. What makes Kunna Gosht different from the other meat delicacies is its distinct flavour and aroma, owing to its cooking method.I find the flavour of Kunna Gosht quite similar to Nihari but it is more refined and aromatic. Kunna Gosht is usually cooked with Mutton/Lamb so that it gives a melt in the mouth experience. I recall a place called Nihari Inn in Karachi which used to serve Kunna Gosht and it was one of their delicacies. This recipe has alot of spices but it is worthwhile putting in all the effort into this dish.Kunna can be eaten with hot Naans or Rotis and should be garnished with lots of ginger and green chillies. You may use corriander and lemons to garnish it as well.
