Aloo gosht (Urdu: آلو گوشت, Hindi: आलू गोश्त, Bengali: আলু গোশ্ত, romanizedAlu göshto, Assamese: আলু গোছ, romanizedAlu güs) is a meat curry, and is a popular dish in North Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisine. It consists of potatoes (aloo) cooked with meat (gosht), usually lamb or mutton or beef, in a stew-like shorba gravy.[1][2] It may be considered a curry, stew, or shorba depending on the way the dish is prepared, the types of spices used and what country or particular region it was made in. The dish can be served and eaten with plain rice or with bread such as roti, paratha or naan.
