What is Mutton Rosh?

The quietest dish on the traditional menu: mutton cooked in its own juices with nothing to hide behind.

A dish without a masala

Rosh (or rosh gosht) comes from Balochistan and the Pashtun belt. Chunks of mutton are cooked slowly with salt, a little fat, and sometimes onion and whole black pepper, in a sealed pot. There is no tomato, no chilli powder, no garam masala.

The meat releases its own stock, and that stock reduces into a thin, intensely flavoured broth. It is as close to the taste of pure mutton as a cooked dish gets.

Who it is for

People who find karahi too hot, people recovering from illness, elders, and anyone who genuinely likes mutton. It is also popular in winter because the broth is warming.

It is not for anyone expecting a spicy curry. Approach it like a roast rather than a salan.

How to eat it

With plain naan or kaak, a little black pepper and lemon, and raw onion. The broth is for dipping bread. Some people add a spoon of sajji masala.
