Delicious Mutton Curry

Step 1: Marinate the Mutton

In a bowl, mix mutton with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice.

Cover and let it marinate for at least 1-2 hours (overnight for best results).

Step 2: Cook the Curry

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker.

Add bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves, and cumin seeds. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until raw smell disappears.

Stir in tomato puree and cook until oil separates.

Add turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Mutton

Add marinated mutton and cook on high heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the mutton is browned, add water and mix well.

Cover and cook:

In a pressure cooker: Cook for 5-6 whistles on medium heat.

In a pot: Cover and cook on low heat for 1.5-2 hours until the mutton is tender.

Step 4: Final Touch

Open the lid, add garam masala and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Step 5: Serve

Enjoy hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti!
