Karahi Gosht (Indian Meat Curry)

Hello there! My name is Maliha, and I'm what you would call a typical foodie. Not only do I love going out to eat but I love cooking food myself belonging to a variety of cuisines. I enjoy taking traditional recipes and breaking them down to make them easy, simple, and most importantly- quick!
