Chicken Mince Dabba

I love Dabba Gosht. You will hardly find someone who would not like it. Making dabba is not that simple. The mutton pieces need to be soft so that they melt in the mouth. Here I am cooking my version of dabba gosht with chicken mince instead of mutton.
If you’ve tasted it’s a rare, exquisite, delicious, succulent, melt-in-the-mouth boneless chicken delicacy dish and only very few select eateries feature it on their menu.
