Mutton Curry

I would call this as an easy, quick and yummy mutton curry. The whole credit for this goes to my friend Jainy. I did make in 3 – 4 times in the last 4 months. A recipe that’s always a keeper. And yeah when I got this recipe from Jainy, I told her that I would post it here in my space. And she wanted me to add her pic to this post here. Jainz – Here is my promise J See the end of the post..

Preparation:

Wash and cut the mutton into medium size pieces. Marinate it with all the ingredients in the marinade section. Keep it aside for a hour or two.

Pressure cook until the meat is soft. I did around 4 - 5 whistles in my pressure cooker. But it might differ according to your cooker.Leave it on the stove until the whole pressure is released.

               

For the gravy, Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the chopped onions, shallots and green chillies. Saute until the onions are light brown in colour. Now add the curry leaves and give a mix. Then add the cooked meat and ½ tsp garam masala and mix well. Add the water and mix well. Let the gravy boil. Do a salt check and add more if required. Add the remaining garam masala and switch off the flame.
