Ingredients:
Mutton (goat/lamb) – 500 g
Onions – 3 large (finely sliced)
Tomatoes – 3 medium (pureed or finely chopped)
Ginger-garlic paste – 2 tbsp
Curd (yogurt) – ½ cup (whisked)
Green chilies – 2 (slit)
Mustard oil (or any oil) – 4 tbsp
Water – 1½ to 2 cups
Fresh coriander – for garnish
Salt – to taste
Whole spices:
Bay leaf – 1
Cinnamon stick – 1 inch
Green cardamoms – 3
Cloves – 4
Black cardamom – 1
Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
Powder spices:
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Red chili powder – 1½ tsp (adjust to taste)
Coriander powder – 2 tsp
Garam masala – 1 tsp
Cumin powder – ½ tsp
Method:
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker. Add all the whole spices and let them splutter.
Add sliced onions and sauté on medium flame until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell disappears.
Add mutton pieces and sauté for 8–10 minutes till they turn light brown and sealed with flavour.
Add turmeric, red chili, coriander, and cumin powder. Mix well and roast the masala.
Add tomatoes and cook till oil starts separating from the masala.
Stir in whisked curd, mix continuously to prevent curd from curdling.
Add salt and 1½ cups of water (adjust depending on how thick you want the gravy).
Pressure cook for 4–5 whistles (or until mutton is tender).
If cooking in a pan, cover and cook on low flame for about 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once done, sprinkle garam masala and mix.
Garnish with fresh coriander and slit green chilies.
Serving suggestion:
Serve hot with steamed basmati rice, naan, or tandoori roti. A side of onion salad and lemon wedge takes it to the next level! 😋
