Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mutton (boneless, cut into cubes)
- 100 grams Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 2 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 large Tomatoes (pureed)
- 2 pieces Green chilies (slit lengthwise)
- 4 tablespoons Mustard oil or ghee
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 1 to taste Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)
- 200 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the mutton cubes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add the mutton cubes to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and let the mutton marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.
Heat mustard oil or ghee in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the tomato puree to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
Mix in the coriander powder, cumin powder, and a little more turmeric and red chili powder if desired. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the marinated mutton cubes to the pan and cook on high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mutton is slightly seared.
Pour in water, adjust the salt, and add the slit green chilies. Stir to combine.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid (or secure the pressure cooker lid). Simmer on low heat for 45-50 minutes, or until the mutton is tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook for about 4-5 whistles, then let the pressure release naturally.
Once the mutton is cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the curry and give it a final stir.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
