Serving Suggestions : 3
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
2. Ingredients
- 500gm mutton ( preferably shoulder cut)
- 1/2 cup mustard oil
- 2 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 15 pieces black pepper
- 2 black cardamon
- 2 bay leaf
- small piece of cinnamon
- 4 whole red chilli
- salt
- 300gm onion ( cut into thick pieces)
3. Step-by-step method
- I am making this mutton dish in a pressure cooker because it will take less time than any other vessel.
- Put mutton pieces, onion cuts, ginger garlic paste, whole spices, salt and mustard oil in a pressure cooker.
- Now switch on the full flame; after the first whistle, lower the flame and cook the mutton for another 13 minutes; after that, switch off the flame and wait for 10 minutes.
- Now open the lid of the cooker, and you can see liquid gravy; put the cooker again on high flame until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. (don’t cover with lid at this stage)
- After some time, you will notice that the gravy becomes thick. You can keep the consistency according to your choice.
- It tastes better if the gravy is dry to the minimum.
- Enjoy this amazing mouth-watering mutton dish with your favourite bread, Paratha Roti or Naan.
4. Tips :
- Shoulder cut is best for this recipe because of its soft texture and flavour.
- Taste salt when pressure is released from the cooker and adjusts accordingly to your taste.
- You can remove whole spices before serving.
- Mustard oil is recommended for better results in this dish, but you are free to use any type of oil of your choice.
- Olive oil can also be used.
