Well, for a change, I’ll spare you from listening to my stories, what say ;) ?
Bookmarked this recipe sometime ago and finally tried it last week. It was exactly what I expected, a spicy dish loaded with amazing flavour! I hope you will also enjoy it.
Here you go with the step by step pictures…
Grind together whole black pepper, green chilli, ginger, garlic and coriander leaves with 2 tbsp water to a fine paste. Add this ground masala, lemon juice and salt to cleaned mutton pieces. Marinate it for half an hour to one hour…
Heat oil in the pressure cooker. Add sliced onions and cook till it becomes golden brown. Add all the masala powders. Mix well. Add a little water (1 tbsp) to mix everything well…
When oil starts appearing, add tomato, salt (keep in mind that salt is already added to mutton) and curry leaves. Mix well. After 3-4 mins, add marinated mutton pieces. Mix well…
Add 1 cup water, let it boil. Pressure cook till the mutton is done…
