Mysore Nizami Goat

🇮🇳 Indian

Mysore kitchens keep their goat nizami close to the chest — this version follows the house rules: slow masala, honest heat. 60 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy pot until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry the onion to deep gold, then the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell lifts.

  4. 4

    Tip in the powdered spices and tomatoes; bhunao until the oil separates at the edges.

  5. 5

    Season, reduce to the consistency you like, and finish with cilantro.

Chef's tip

Hot water, never cold; dull gravy is a temperature mistake.
