Mutton Curry Recipe

Mutton curry is a popular Indian dish made with tender pieces of mutton (goat meat) cooked in a rich and flavorful tomato-based sauce with a blend of aromatic spices. Here's a recipe for mutton curry:

Ingredients:

• 500 grams bone-in mutton, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
• 2-3 green cardamom pods
• 2-3 black cardamom pods
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2-3 green chilies, slit lengthwise
• 2-3 medium tomatoes, pureed
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• Salt to taste
• Handful of chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil or ghee in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the green cardamom pods, black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves, and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onions turn golden brown.
3. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until the raw smell goes away.
4. Add the pureed tomatoes, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the oil starts to separate from the sauce.
5. Add the mutton pieces to the pot and mix well to coat the meat with the sauce. Add enough water to cover the mutton pieces and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 60-90 minutes or until the mutton is tender and cooked through.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
