This week's Resolution Recipe: Pudina Gosht (Minty Lamb Curry).
"I've made this curry on the stove, but the stovetop version doesn't compare to how flavorful this dish becomes when cooked in the CultPot. The mint and spices get locked into the meat under pressure, resulting in a simply delicious curry with melt-in-your-mouth lamb."

"This is a very popular Parsi dish in which fish is smeared with a generous amount of green chutney and steamed in banana leaf packets... The green chutney packs a flavorful punch with a hint of heat."
