Ingredients

• 500 grams Mutton (bone-in or boneless)
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 250 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or preferred cooking oil)
• 0.5 teaspoons Mustard seeds
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 Green chilies (slit lengthwise)
• 1 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mutton pieces thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2

In a pressure cooker or large pot, add the mutton pieces, 0.5 teaspoons of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 250 milliliters of water. Mix well.

Step 3

Cook the mutton on medium heat until tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook for about 4-5 whistles. Let the pressure release naturally. Drain any excess liquid and set the cooked mutton aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add 0.5 teaspoons of mustard seeds. Allow them to splutter.

Step 6

Add 10 curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 7

Add 1 medium sliced onion and 2 slit green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes golden brown.

Step 8

Add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and cook for about 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and add the following spices: 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoons of cumin powder, 0.5 teaspoons of garam masala, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper powder. Mix well and cook for about 30 seconds.

Step 10

Add the cooked mutton pieces to the pan. Increase the heat to medium and toss the pieces well in the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 11

Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mutton develops a rich, crispy texture and the spices marry well.

Step 12

Turn off the heat and garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well.

Step 13

Serve hot as a side dish with rice or flatbread, or enjoy it as a standalone entrée.
