Ingredients for the South Indian style mutton curry:
Mutton - 1/2 kg clean and cut it into small pieces
Onion - 1 cup sliced onions
Tomato - 1/ 2 cup chopped
Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 2 tsps
Garlic bulb - 1 tsp chopped
Ginger - 2 tsps crushed or chopped very fine
Grated Coconut - 3/4 cups
Cloves - 4 nos, crushed
Cinnamon - 2 nos, crushed
Oil - 3 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
How to prepare the Mutton Curry;
Heat oil in a pressure pan, add onions ginger and garlic. Fry well till they get brown in the edges and somewhat golden.
Add the powder masalas, crushed cloves and cinnamon and mix well. Stir till it loses the raw smell.
Add mutton pieces and stir well till the colour changes and the masala blend well with the mutton.
Add a cup of water and pressure cook till three whistles or about 10 minutes after you put the weight on.
Meanwhile grind the grated coconut, and cumin seeds to a nice paste .
When the mutton is cooked and tender add the chopped tomatoes.
when the tomatoes turn soft add the ground coconut paste,and salt to taste.
When it comes to boil remove from fire and cover it. Garnish with Coriander leaves and serve with steaming rice or chapathies or rotis.
Points to Note:
This is a very simple and easy to make curry. If you do not want coconut then leave it and add a little more chopped tomatoes. This will taste just as nice.
You can add coconut milk also instead of coconut paste.
If you are in a hurry, you can also mix a little ready made coconut powder, available over the counters, in a little water and add.
