Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground mutton
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 medium Tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground mutton to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it starts to brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Mix in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften slightly, about 3 minutes.
Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to coat the mutton with the spices.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the lid and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes to allow excess liquid to evaporate.
Stir in the garam masala, and then turn off the heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and squeeze lemon juice on top just before serving.
Serve hot with cauliflower rice or a side of fresh salad.
