Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Mutton

In a bowl, marinate the mutton pieces with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. Cook the Onions

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

3. Add Spices and Mutton

Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies to the pan. Sauté for a minute, then add the marinated mutton. Mix well.

4. Pressure Cook

Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the mutton is tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook for about 2 whistles.

5. Final Touch

Once cooked, check for tenderness. If needed, cook uncovered for a few more minutes to dry out excess moisture. Add freshly ground black pepper and curry leaves. Stir well.

6. Serve

Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
