Well, for a change, I'll spare you from listening to my stories, what say ;) ?

Bookmarked this recipe sometime ago and finally tried it  last week. It was exactly what I expected, a spicy dish loaded with amazing flavour! I hope you will also enjoy it.

Servings: 3 -4
Author: Maria Jose

Ingredients

  • 500 gms Mutton (cut into small-medium size pieces)

  • 2 Green chilli
  • 1 tbsp Ginger & garlic chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp Coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

  • 1 small – medium Tomato (sliced)
  • 1 cup Water
  • Curry leaves
  • Salt
  • Oil (I used coconut oil)

Instructions

  • When oil starts appearing, add tomato, salt (keep in mind that salt is already added to mutton) and curry leaves. Mix well. After 3-4 mins, add marinated mutton pieces. Mix well.
    step 3 1
    • Save
  • Add 1 cup water, let it boil. Pressure cook till the mutton is done.
    step 4 2
    • Save
  • If there is any gravy, continue cooking, so that the water dries up and mutton is covered with masala. Garnish with freshly ground pepper and onion rings.
  • Serve it with rice, roti, pathiri etc;

Notes

This curry has a dry consistency. But I made a semi dry version. You can adjust the gravy to suit your taste. The more you roast on low flame, the more darker the mutton will be. It will be great if you can marinate mutton for 1-2 hours.

  6. Hi Maria,
    This is the first time I’m gonna cook mutton. It’s my hubby’s birthday next week. And he loves mutton. I don’t eat mutton. So I might not be able to check whether it’s cooked or not. Could u plz tell me how long did u cook in the pressure cooker.( how many whistles).

    Thanks a ton…

    • Hi Nisha,

      The cooking time for mutton varies. I use Indian mutton, after the first whistle on full flame, I reduce it to low-medium flame and cook for 8-10 whistles. Keep it closed till pressure drops and open it.

      If you want to know whether the mutton is cooked, take a piece and try to cut it with knife, if you are able to cut it easily, it’s cooked, if not cook further.

      Hope your husband enjoys this dish.

      Happy cooking and all the best :)

      Cheers
      Maria

    • Hi Pearly,

      I havent cooked mutton without pressure cooker, also it varies depending on the variety you use. However try cooking for 25 – 30 mins on low flame and see how it goes.

      Cheers
