Ingredients:
For the Mutton:
-
500 grams of mutton, either with bones or boneless, meticulously cleaned and chopped into medium-sized portions.
-
2 tbsp oil or ghee
-
1 large onion, finely sliced
-
2 tomatoes, chopped
-
2 tbsp yogurt (optional, for tenderizing)
-
Salt to taste
-
One cup of loosely packed fresh mint leaves
-
Coriander leaves – for garnish
For the Spice Mix:
-
1 tsp cumin seeds
-
1 tsp coriander powder
-
1 teaspoon of red chili powder
-
½ tsp turmeric powder
-
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
-
½ tsp garam masala
-
2–3 green chilies (slit)
Instructions:
Marinate the Mutton (Optional but Recommended):
Combine mutton with salt, turmeric, yogurt, and half of the ginger-garlic paste in a bowl. Let it rest in the marinade for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Sauté the Aromatics:
Heat oil in a robust saucepan or pressure cooker. Incorporate sliced onions and cook them until they achieve a golden brown color.
Add Ginger-Garlic and Spices:
Add the remaining ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté until the raw aroma disappears. Next, incorporate coriander powder and chili powder, and allow to cook for one minute.
Cook the Tomatoes:
Add chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook until the ingredients are soft and the oil begins to separate from the spice blend.
Add the Mutton:
Add marinated mutton pieces. Mix well to coat with the masala. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring intermittently.
Pressure Cook / Slow Cook:
-
If using a pressure cooker: Add 1 cup water, cover, and cook for 4–5 whistles or until tender.
-
If using a pot: Add 1½ cups water, cover, and simmer for 45–60 minutes until mutton is fully cooked and tender.
Add Mint and Garam Masala:
Once the mutton is fully cooked and the gravy has reached a thick consistency, add the chopped mint leaves and garam masala. Continue to simmer for an additional five minutes to enhance the flavor.
Garnish & Serve:
Add fresh coriander leaves and additional mint, if preferred.
Serving Suggestions:
-
Serve while hot alongside steamed basmati rice, cumin rice, or naan/roti.
-
Serve alongside raita or a cucumber salad for a refreshing complement.
Enjoy this bold and aromatic Spicy Mutton with Mint – a perfect dish for festive dinners or weekend indulgence!
