Mutton Curry

Ingredients

• 500g mutton, curry cut
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, pureed
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1.5 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• Oil, coriander, salt

Method

1. Heat oil, saute onion until deep golden-brown, then add ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant.
2. Add tomato puree, turmeric, coriander powder and chilli powder; cook until the oil separates.
3. Add the mutton pieces and sear well on all sides so they pick up the masala flavour.
4. Add water to cover, cover the pot and simmer on low heat (or pressure cook for 5-6 whistles) until the mutton is fully tender — this takes longer than chicken, so be patient.
5. Finish with garam masala and coriander; serve hot with rice or roti.
