Mutton Yakhni
Mutton Yakhni is a slow-cooked lamb dish infused with warm whole spices like black cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns. The lamb simmers gently with aromatics such as onions, garlic, and ginger paste, creating a rich and fragrant broth. Cooking the meat until tender allows the flavors from the spices and lamb to meld into a subtle, comforting stew. It’s traditionally served alongside steamed rice to soak up the flavorful yakhni sauce.
