Instructions
-
Prepare the Ground Paste: Begin by blending the fresh ginger, garlic, and green chilies in your blender or grinder until they form a smooth paste. Set this aromatic blend aside for later use.
-
Marinate the Mutton: In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared paste with plain yogurt, sliced onions, salt, and red chili powder. Toss the mutton pieces in this flavorful marinade until they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or, preferably, overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
-
Cook the Mutton: Heat oil in a kadai (wok) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and stir-fry them until they turn golden brown. This step is crucial as it builds a rich base for the dish.
-
Combine and Cook: Next, add the marinated mutton along with any leftover marinade into the kadai. Stir well to ensure the meat is evenly mixed with the onion and spices. Allow the mixture to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mutton becomes tender and cooked through. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of your meat pieces.
-
Garnish and Serve: In the meantime, take the fresh coriander leaves and coarsely pound them using a mortar and pestle to release their essential oils. Once the mutton is fully cooked, remove it from heat and garnish generously with the coarsely pounded coriander leaves.
-
Enjoy Your Meal: Serve this delightful mutton karahi hot with parathas, naan, kulcha, or rotis, allowing the rich flavors to elevate your dining experience.
