Step-by-Step Guide to Make Mutton Curry

Step 1: Marinate the Mutton

  1. In a bowl, mix mutton, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice.
  2. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1-2 hours (overnight for best results).

Step 2: Prepare the Base

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot or pressure cooker.
  2. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cardamoms, and cinnamon stick, sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.
  3. Add chopped onions and cook until golden brown.
  4. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.

Step 3: Cook the Tomatoes & Spices

  1. Add pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates.
  2. Mix in coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, black pepper, and turmeric.
  3. Stir well and let the masala cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Cook the Mutton

  1. Add the marinated mutton to the pot and sauté on high heat for 5-7 minutes until it is well-coated with spices.
  2. Pour in 2 cups of water or mutton stock, cover, and cook on low heat for 45-60 minutes until the meat is tender.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I make my mutton soft and tender?

To get soft and tender mutton, marinate it for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results) with yogurt, lemon juice, and spices. Also, cook it on low heat for a longer time or use a pressure cooker for faster results.

For a 500g mutton curry, cook it for about 4-5 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally for the best texture.
