Mutton Gravy2

Our first ever Recipe contest went great and we really appreciate everybody for participating in it. We are now back to regular programming with this excellent Mutton Gravy recipe from my mother-in-law’s Kitchen. If you like spicy gravies with chapathis or parathas, then you have come to the right spot. This spicy mouth watering mutton dish will make a perfect companion to different dishes like chapathis, parathas, briyani or even dosas. The trick to getting this right is in the pressure cooking process where the mutton becomes really tender and juicy.

Ingredients:

Mutton:500gm
Onion : 2
Tomatoes : 2
Ginger& Garlic Paste : 3 tbsp
Oil : 5 tbsp
Cinnamon stick : 1 inch
Cloves : 3
Bay leaves : 2
Fennel seeds : 1 tbsp
Turmeric Powder: 1tsp
Curry leaves : 6 to 8
Red Chili Powder : 1/2 tbsp
Coriander powder : 1 tbsp
Black Pepper : 2 to 3 tbsp ( according to your spice level)
Coriander leaves : few ( for garnishing)

Method Of Preparation:

Heat 1/2 spoon oil in a pan add onions sautee till it becomes soft and translucent .
Add tomatoes and fry them all together for about 5 minutes .
Remove them from heat and let it cool for few minutes.
Grind ‘em into a smooth paste. Keep it aside.
Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a pressure cooker, add the ground paste and fry it in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes.Then add the ginger & garlic paste .
After the raw smell off ginger and garlic goes off, add the mutton and mix it all well. Fry the mutton with the masala for 5 to 8 minutes in medium flame.
Now add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder , black pepper , salt and half cup of water into it.
Stir it well so that all of the ingredients mix together and close the lid of the pressure cooker.
Pressure cook it until the whistle goes off 4 times. After that remove from heat and keep it aside.
Heat the remaining oil in a kadai/pan add cloves, cinnamon, bayleaves, fennel seedsand curry leaves. After the seeds sputter add the pressure cooked gravy in to it . Boil it for a few minutes or till it comes to complete boil.
If the gravy is little watery leave it in a medium heat untill it becomes a bit thick in consistency and remove from heat.
Garnish it with coriander leaves.

It’s Wednesday morning 9:00am, planning to have one slice of wheat bread for breakfast and I see this. I am thinking malligai-poo idlis to go with this. This is officially classified as a torture-test for serious dieters. Not fair.

Thanks for your comment HappyCook , after a longtime am seeing you here. You can try this with chicken too.

Swetha sure you can try it with chicken.

Thanks a ton for your comments meeso, asha, aartee, cham, rachel,sagari,vani, swati,shibani and kalai.

Thanks for passing this award to us Uma.

Welcome To SpicyTasty Pedro, Idlis are perfect combination for this curry. I’d love to know if you withstood the torture test or if you gave into temptations.

I tried this over d weekend… DELICIOUS!!!!! I didn’t know whether to add 3 tbsp pepper powder or the whole black pepper itself.. so for a try, i added 3 tbsp, it turned out a little spicy, but went well with rasam n cucumber salad Next time shall try with just two tbsp pepper powder :):) Great receipe
