Gosht is originally a Persian word for 'meat' and is now popularly used in South Asia to refer to meat. In India and Pakistan, Gosht refers to mutton or goat meat, although, in several parts of the world where mutton (goat meat) is not commonly available, Gosht is used to refer to lamb meat, which is more commonly available. Karahi Gosht is a popular restaurant-style recipe that can be made with either mutton or lamb.
