In a day, the holy month of Shravan will kick off for Hindus residing in Western and Southern states of India. But before Shraavana 2019 commences on August 2 (Friday), an all-important festivity day takes place. It is Gatari, also known as Gatari Amavasya. The day is popular in the state of Maharashtra where people gorge on tastiest non-vegetarian recipes (everything from mutton dishes to fish fries to chicken biryani) and binge drink as all of it will be prohibited during the sacred month of Shravan, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Gatari Amavasya 2019 Date: Significance And Celebrations Associated With Deep Amavasya Festivity.

Yes, we know photos are nowhere close to the joy of biting into a juicy piece of mutton. But these pictures of succulent savouries totally deserve your glance. Some of the tastiest recipes are – Rogan josh, one of the signature recipes of Kashmiri cuisine made with red meat, primarily of goat or lamb. Then, there’s Laal maans, a delectable meat curry recipe from Rajasthan. Masala Fried Pomfret and Fish Masala Fry will make you want to lick your laptop/phone screen. There is so much more such as mutton biryani, Galouti kebab, prawn curry, and mutton nihari gosht.
