What it is
A unique mutton curry featuring the sweet and tangy flavor of dried plums (aloo bukhara), cooked in a rich, spiced gravy. For keto, the quantity of dried plums must be significantly reduced to manage natural sugars, while still imparting the characteristic flavor.
Key ingredients
Mutton (bone-in or boneless), dried plums (aloo bukhara), onions (moderate), tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, full-fat yogurt (optional), ghee/oil, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt.
If you order it anyway
Absolutely critical to request a very small quantity of dried plums (e.g., 2-3 plums per serving) to minimize sugar content. Ensure no added sugar to the gravy. Ask for minimal onions. Serve without rice or bread.
Watch out for
High natural sugar content from dried plums, hidden added sugars, excessive onions/tomatoes.
