Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
