Ingredients

  • 750 gm mutton washed and drained
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup shallots chopped
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • Curry leaves coriander and mint leaves for garnishing
  • FOR PASTE:
  • 4 tbsp yogurt
  • 1/2 bunch coriander leaves
  • 1/3 bunch mint leaves
  • 1 heaped tbsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 3 green chillies
  • 1 inch pc ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 pc cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp black pepper powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients "for paste" in a blender and blend into a smooth paste.
  • Add it to the mutton and marinate it for at least 1/2 an hour. The more it is left to marinate, the better!
  • Heat your pressure cooker. Add the oil to heat.
  • Saute shallots and onions till soft. Add the tomatoes and saute till mashed.
  • Now add the mutton along with all the marinade. Check the salt.
  • Close and cook till the mutton gets done - three whistles on high flame and 15 minutes on simmer normally does it for me. Allow the pressure to go by itself.
  • Open the lid and add the curry leaves, coriander and mint leaves. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm with chapathis, porattas or rice!
