Ingredients

• 500 grams Mutton (goat meat), bone-in or boneless
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 10 whole Shallots, thinly sliced
• 5 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 3 whole Fresh green chilies, slit lengthwise
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 12 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the mutton thoroughly under cold water and let it drain.

Step 2

In a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed pot, add the mutton, turmeric powder, and salt along with 1 cup of water. Cook the mutton on medium heat for 15-20 minutes (about 5-6 whistles in a pressure cooker) or until tender. Set the cooked mutton aside, reserving any liquids to use as stock.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced shallots to the pan and sauté until they become golden brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until aromatic.

Step 6

Stir in the red chili powder, ground black pepper, coriander powder, garam masala, and curry leaves. Allow the spices to bloom in the hot oil, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked mutton pieces to the pan. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry the mutton for 6-8 minutes to coat it in the spiced mixture and achieve a slight crisping on the edges.

Step 8

If the mixture becomes too dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved mutton stock for moisture and flavor.

Step 9

Taste and adjust salt if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with accompaniments like cauliflower rice, sautéed vegetables, or enjoy it as a standalone dish.
