I feel like we cramped the whole of summer into the past weekend. We took advantage of the pleasantly warm weather and had a picnic at the park, walked by the lake, slept in and gorged on a lavish homemade brunch, read a book over endless cups of coffee in the backyard, and took pleasant afternoon naps. And as Monday sprung, bringing along with it a cold burst of strong winds, I got out my trusty Instant Pot and made my Achari Gosht for dinner. As a child, the first day of school always marked a drastic end to a wonderfully joyous summer. Suddenly, our trips to the park were cut short because of pending homework that needed to be done. Barbeque parties came to an abrupt end since most parents had to shuffle their kids between weekend extra-curricular activities. And the worst of all, we had to get to bed early on Sunday nights and wake up at the break of dawn on Monday mornings. But as the sun slowly hid behind heavy clouds and the rains and chilly winds became more frequent, I always looked forward to something even better. Comfort food. Food I can come home to from the cold, wet outdoors, that would instantly warm my insides and perk me up. Today, lounging on my favourite chair with a great book and bowl of warm leftover Instant Pot Achari Gosht and rice, I look out the window and bid a silent farewell to summer – only to follow it with a warm welcome to my most favourite season of all. The Fall. If you enjoyed this recipe, you will surely like my Instant Pot Lamb Curry with Potatoes and Palak Gosht recipe as well. Tried this recipe?
