Mutton Curry

Here I am presenting today a mutton curry which is a good combination with pathiri (rice rotti). Pathiri and meat curry is a special treat for the guests in our home. My mother-in-law makes very good pathiri and meat curry. This preparation is comparatively easy by the pressure cooker method. You can also serve it with chappathi or rice.

Recipe:-

1) Mutton pieces - 2 pounds
2) Onion - 3 medium
3) Tomato - 3 (chopped)
4) Ginger - garlic paste - 2 tbsp
5) Red chilli powder - 2 tsp(I used kashmiri chilli powder)
6) Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
7) Garam masala - 1 tsp
8) Curry leaves - 2 sprig
9) Oil - as needed
10) Cilantro - 1/4 cup
11) Salt - to taste
12) Vinegar - 2 tbsp

Rub the washed and drained mutton pieces with vinegar and salt and keep aside. This will help the mutton pieces become tender. Mean time, slice the onions thinly and fry in oil till it is dark brown. Don't undercook onions. Add fried onions and items 3 to 8 to the mutton pieces and mix well. Transfer the mixture to the pressure cooker and cook till the mutton is done (almost 20 mts in small flame). I didn't add any water to the mixture to avoid the gravy becoming too watery. When the curry is done, sprinkle cilantro to garnish.
