About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/5 lb mutton, bone‑in pieces
- 3 onions
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 tbsp ginger‑garlic paste
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 4 tbsp mustard oil
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 4 cardamom pods
- 4 cloves
- to taste salt
- 2 cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
Instructions
- 11. Heat the mustard oil in a heavy‑bottomed pot over medium heat until it begins to smoke; this removes the raw flavor.
- 22. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, and cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 33. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn deep golden brown (about 12‑15 minutes). This step builds the base flavor.
- 44. Stir in the ginger‑garlic paste and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
- 55. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the masala (about 8 minutes).
- 66. Introduce the mutton pieces, mixing well to coat them with the spice mixture. Sear the meat for 5‑7 minutes until it develops a light brown crust.
- 77. Pour in 2 cups of water, add salt, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60‑70 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water if the gravy dries out.
- 88. Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry, stir gently, and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- 99. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Turn off the heat and let the curry rest for 5 minutes.
- 1010. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or Indian flatbread.
