Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mutton (boneless, trimmed of excess fat)
- 2 large Onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 3 pieces Green Chilies (slit)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 pieces Curry Leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves (chopped)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 slice Lemon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mutton thoroughly under cold running water and pat it dry using paper towels.
In a pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the mutton pieces to the pressure cooker, along with turmeric powder and salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mutton is lightly seared.
Pour in 1 cup of water, close the lid, and cook the mutton on medium heat for 5-6 whistles (or until tender). Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally.
In a large frying pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add curry leaves and green chilies, and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Then, stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down into a thick paste.
Sprinkle coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and black pepper powder into the onion-tomato mixture. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked mutton to the frying pan. Stir well to coat the mutton with the spicy mixture. Continue to cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the mutton is coated with the spices.
Sprinkle garam masala over the fry and give it a final stir.
Garnish the mutton fry with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice, chapati, or naan for a delicious, protein-rich meal.
