Cuisine: Malvani
Course: Main Course
Diet: Non-Vegetarian
Ingredients:
- 300 grams Mutton (on the bone), washed and cleaned
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder (Haldi)
- 1/3 cup Water
- 4 tablespoons Malvani masala (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 2 Onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, finely chopped
- 1 Tomato, finely chopped
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mutton: In a pressure cooker, add the cleaned mutton, water, salt, and turmeric powder. Pressure cook for 2 whistles. Once done, turn off the flame and let the pressure release naturally.
-
Cook the Aromatics: Heat oil in a kadai (pan) on medium flame. Add ginger and garlic, sautΓ©ing for about a minute until fragrant. Then add the chopped onions and cook them until they turn a deep brown color.
-
Add Malvani Masala: Stir in the Malvani masala and chopped tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and turn mushy, releasing their juices. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.
-
Grind the Base: Once cooled, transfer the onion-tomato mixture into a blender and grind into a coarse paste, adding a small amount of water if necessary.
-
Combine and Cook Again: Transfer the coarsely ground paste into the pressure cooker with the pre-cooked mutton. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 2 whistles in the pressure cooker. Allow the pressure to release naturally once again.
-
Final Adjustments: Open the cooker and stir the curry. Adjust the salt and spices to your liking.
-
Serve: Transfer the Malvani Mutton Curry into a serving bowl and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, Seer Fish Fry, and pickled onions for a complete meal.
