They say the secret to an unforgettable Mughlai dish lies in its preparation, and at Goshtana, we couldn’t agree more. Every succulent kebab, creamy curry, or tender roast you enjoy starts its journey with a perfectly crafted marinade. These blends of spices, yogurt, and aromatics are not just recipes—they're traditions passed down through generations. Let’s explore how our marinades transform everyday ingredients into royal feasts.
The Mughlai Marinade Magic:
Mughlai cuisine is a celebration of indulgence and complexity, and marinades are at its heart. They aren’t just about coating the meat—they’re about infusing every fiber with flavor. From the tangy creaminess of yogurt to the aromatic allure of saffron, each ingredient plays a role. At Goshtana, our marinades are a labor of love, balancing tradition with a touch of innovation.
Ingredients That Bring the Magic:
Yogurt: Not just a tenderizer, but the base for a creamy, rich flavor.
Spices: A symphony of cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, each contributing a unique note.
Aromatics: Ginger, garlic, and onions blend to create depth and warmth.
Saffron and Rose Water: Adding a royal touch of luxury with their delicate aroma.
Nuts and Seeds: Ground almonds and cashews for that signature Mughlai richness.
How We Do It at Goshtana:
Every piece of meat is treated with care. First, it’s massaged with spices to ensure every bite bursts with flavor. Then, it’s left to marinate—sometimes for hours, sometimes overnight. This slow marination process allows the spices to penetrate deeply, tenderizing the meat and creating layers of taste.
