MUTTON GRAVY RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

·         3 tbs Oil

·         1 Bayleaf

·         1 Cinnamon Stick ((one inch))

·         3-4 Cardamom Pods

·         3-4 Cloves

·         1 green chilli

·         3 large Onions (finely chopped)

·         1 tbs Ginger Garlic Paste

·         4 large Tomatoes (finely chopped)

·         1 teaspoon Coriander Powder

·         2 tbs Lala’s Mutton Masala ((or meat/curry powder of your choice))

·         500-600 grams Mutton or Lamb (cut into medium sized pieces)

·         2 Potatoes (quartered)

·         1 teaspoon garam masala

·         1 tbs kasuri methi ((optional))

·         1 tbs ghee (or Butter)

·         Salt to taste

HOW TO COOK:

1.     Heat oil in a pressure cooker (electric or stovetop) and saute bayleaf, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves for a minute. Add green chilli, onions and ginger garlic paste. Cook this for 7-8 minutes till the onions are translucent.

2.     Add tomatoes, coriander powder, mutton masala (or meat masala) and salt and cook for 5 minutes till the tomatoes break down slightly. Add mutton, potatoes and a cup of water and put the lid on. If using a stovetop pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 30-40 minutes (5-6 whistles). If using an electric pressure cooker or an instant pot, cook for 45 minutes and let pressure release naturally.

3.     Once the pressure is released, open the lid and switch on the flame again. Add a little water if the gravy is too thick. Stir in garam masala, kasuri methi (if using) and ghee and simmer for another 4-5 minutes. Let the curry rest for 15 minutes before serving.
