Gosht

"Gosht" is the transliteration for the Urdu and Persian word گوشت, meaning meat or flesh. [ [http://www.urduword.com/search.php?Roman=gosht UrduWord.com] ]

In Pakistan, nearly all gosht dishes contain meat, whether mutton, goat, lamb, mutton, chicken, fish, etc. The Muslim culinary laws are respected in Pakistani dishes. When Indian dishes are translated and adapted for western audiences, lamb is the meat most often used in the adaptation. This has led to a common misconception that gosht means lamb. In India, gosht dishes are just as likely to be made with goat or mutton. It should be noted, though, in India mutton is more likely to mean goat rather than adult sheep, as it does elsewhere. As the Hindu religion prohibits eating beef and Islam prohibits the eating of pork, proper Indian gosht is never made with these meats.
